Novice ecto-morph training to gain big

hi people, i am looking for some advice regarding my current training technique.. i will start off with specs;
Age 22
Height 5'11
Weight 196lbs

i am curently training mon-wed-fri upper body only as i have quiet good natural leg size having spent the ast 4 years in the army(alot of pack marching etc..)
you will have to excuse any of my incorrect excercise definitions please.
day 1)

Wide grip(overhand) chins 4sets 10 reps
Seated row 4 sets 15,12,10,8 reps
Back extensions 3sets 25reps with a weight plate.

dumbell bench press 3sets 6-8 reps
dumbell incline bench 3sets 6-8 reps
dumbell flies 4sets 8-12 reps

abdominal finish

day 2)

slight/decline dumbels bicep curls 3/6
lateral pulldown(with alternate bar) 4/15,12,10,8 reps
ezybar bicep retention curls(machine) 4/8-10 reps
alternating one-hand bicep cable retention curls 3/10 reps

Dips 4/20
tricep push down 4sets/ 12,10,8,6 reps
alt one-hand tricep cable retention culrs

upright rows 4/10
standing cable retention deltoid(not sure how else to explain). 4/15,12,10,8.

So as you can see probably not the most revolutionary workout.
I am a novice and have been doing the above workout for approx 13-14 weeks(with afew minor tweaks).
I have added 18lbs in that time.. i consume approx 200grams of protien per day including 1 50gram shake ea morning and a 20gram shake just before i train.
I am a very lean ecto-morph with a very fast metabolism and little to no fat on my body at all.

I am sure there is probably alot more i could be doing, i would like to get as bulky as i can (naturally).

please help.
 
The biggest thing that's going to determine your success if your diet. Add in deads and squats as you were advised. They don't just work your legs, so leaving them out even if you are focusing on upper body is stupid.

But the best training program in the world isn't going to mean shit if you are only eating 2000 calories a day.
