eat at a caloric surplus while hitting your macro nutrient numbers.. Find a program that fits your needs that has a good amount of compound lifts ie overhead presses/bench/squats/deadlifts0

Start with Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5x5 program. They are ideal for skinny young men who want to get strong. And get ready to eat a whole lot of food. Make sure you're getting lots of protein.0
