You should not be changing your exercise every month - just keep adding weight - progressive overload - that's what you need to stimulate hypertrophy. You do not confuse your muscles. Also, why would you not include iso work if you are looking for hypertrophy. Yes, base your routine around the 'big compounds' - but then add assistance work to supplement (whether they are secondary compounds or iso).
Also, you do not need to limit your rest times to 30 secs and I would very much advise against it, particularly when doing heavy compounds.
When bulking, protein is less important (still important, just less so than when cutting) - carbs are actually more important.0 -

He obviously not willing to do any research on his own and wants to be handed a program so in his case I would say it is necessary. If you want to do that for him for free then go ahead.

eat in a half pound per week surplus
set macros to about 35 carbs/35 protein/30 fats
get on structured heavy lifting program that has progressive overload built into it
done.
why pay someone to do that for you?

Due to the generalization of his initial post my assumption is that he knows nothing and what you just said will make 0 sense. If your going to help him help him give him a program boss. Explain everything to him... do your job man!!
don't half *kitten* it!!!

This just confuses me more.... I try to get into lifting weights to build more muscle... the more research I do the more confused and overwhelmed I become. I can't afford a personal trainer to teach me and I feel embarrassed even trying at the gym. I have weights at home but get so bored with daily squats and lunges. If you all thought back to when you started training what helped you the most in the beginning book/magazine/website/advice.0

Did not use it myself, but a good book to start with is Brett Contreras' Strong Curves.0 -

Laziness, lack of motivation, impulse or the idea that it holds you accountable to someone other than yourself are a few reasons I can think of. I agree it's not necessary but I don't complain because it does serve as a nice supplemental income.
Ok - I will shut up ..I don't wanna mess with your supplemental income..!0 -

'Starting Strength' by Mark Rippetoe is what helped me. I literally could not squat before. SL5x5, Strong Curves, ICF 5x5 and NROLFW are all good beginner programmes but I needed that book. I had been trying to do 5x5 for months, but like I say, I could not squat. Something in that book just clicked for me.
Most people can do them straight off, others like YouTube videos and some need a trainer etc. personally, I'd try to start with the cheapest option first - Stronglifts 5x5 has a free website and a group on this site - I'd try that first and see how you go.
