    Look at Starting Strength or Strong lifts or Grey Skull - pick one and follow it as written for3 months or so - then reassess where you are - figure out your maintenance cals and start by adding 300 per day to that - eat your body weight in protein - 165 gms per day. Eat carbs, rice, potatoes etc and veggies - increase you cals so you are gaining 1-2 lbs per week - If you are lifting hard -

    Be consistent. Both with your lifting - regardless of what program you choose to start with and with your surplus. Unlike cutting where you can bank calories, bouncing back and forth from deficit to surplus is a great way to slow down progress when bulking, imo.
