Rows (Barbell, Dumbbell, and 1 arm dumbbell)
Deadlifts
Hyperextensions
Good Mornings
Legs:
Squats (All Variations)
Leg Press
Leg Curl/Extension
Lunges
Deadlifts (SL and Regular)
Arms:
Curls (all variations)
Triceps Kickbacks

Triceps Extensions
Dips
Shoulders/Traps:

Military Press
Clean and Press
Shrugs (Dumbbell, Barbell)

Front Raises, Lateral Raises, and Rear Lateral Raises.
I would appreciate it if you guys could tell me if the latter routine would be better for me.
Nutrition wise I am going with 3 standard meals a day, two shakes of ISO 2 weight gainer a day (I assume that I need to bulk first before I can cut to get lean and defined) 4 L of water a day and 2 cups of green tea.
It would be great if I could get some advice on how to improve these routines and diets.
Cheers.
