Default The Right Training Program?!

I have been training without real goals for about 2 years now. I was just going to the gym as often as possible and I would stay there really long. Some months I would be slacking off while some other months I would work out really hard. I'm 24 years old and I'm currently 6 ft 1in tall and I weight 185 lbs.Originally I was about 200-210 lbs, throughout my two years of training I lost about 25 lbs and transformed my body a lot. I gained some muscle, however I can't get my six-pack defined 100%. I don't know my body fat %, but once I will receive my clippers I will calculate it.

I haven't been following any specific training, I was doing body split, because from what people at the gyms and various resources told me, I thought it was the best way to work out. So my workout plabn was something like.

Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Biceps, Triceps
Wednesday: Legs, or day off
Thursday: Back
Friday: Shoulders

Additionally I would do cardio (20 min run) every day. I have never done a squad or a dead lift. I would like to try them out but I don't think I will be able to do so for at least few months, because I had a really bad knee sprain over 2 months ago and I still feel pain and can't full stretch my knee.

These days I know that this system is not valid anymore and that I need to do full body workout. My main goals now are getting bigger to like 195-200 lbs, pure muscle. For the past month and a half I have been getting into the theory of budybulding and working out, I have been reading different websites including t-nation and jpfitness forums, I have been listening to the fitcast ( great show btw). I have been also following my diet even more carefully( I tried to eat healthy for the past 2 years).

So If my main goals are getting stronger and bigger what training program and type of diet would you recommend for me? Thank you in advance for your replays

Starting Strength says that the squat is the safest exercise for the knee if performed correctly, and there are some posts on knee pain and deadlifts, which seem to be a technique issue as well.
