Exactly.And if you wanna add the most mass in the shortest amount of time, your not gonna get there doing fancy movements designed to target only a small part of one muscle, those are for the pros to use. Here's a split that are coach put some of the team on, it really adds mass quickly.
Workout #1-Upper Body
Flat Barbell bench press: 4 sets 8-12 reps.
Lat Pulls: 4 Sets 8-12 reps
Military press(dumbells if your just starting out) 4 sets 8-12 reps
Standing Barbell Curls: 4 sets 8-12 reps
Clings: 3 sets 8-12 reps

workout #2-Lower body
Regular Barbell Squats: 3 sets 8-12 reps.
Inside Stance Squat: 3 sets 8-12 reps
Standing Calf Raises: 3 sets 8-12reps
Lunges: 3 sets 8-12 reps

The split would look like this
Monday: Upper body workout
Tuesday: Lower body workout
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Upper body workout
Friday: Lower Body workout

If it becomes to much to do, go ahead and drop all the upper body exercises to 3 sets instead of 4, because it can get very time consuming and tiring. Some people will probably call this overtraining but it worked for me. It's a simple routine with basic foundation movements easy for a beginner to do. Eat a lot of quality food on this split and I guarantee you'll put on weight. Once you put on a decent amount of musle, then you can do hammer curls to work the upper third of your now bulging biceps

P.S. Throw abs in there a few times a week as well. And you will get stronger also by using this split but 8-12 rep sets concentrate mainly on gaining size.

Dont forget the eating, weight gain doesn't come from air, it comes from food. Just dont add too many calories at once.

How do fat people get big? Food without training. Add in the training, and a cleaner diet. But I am sorry to tell you, that you are going to get stronger in the process.

Cleans is probably what you are looking for, or power cleans.

That's what I thought, I just wasn't sure. Thanks.

Well there are a lot of ways to do that, you can get fatter or you can drink a lot of milk, all that calcium will make you big boned.

It is best to eat many meals but not large meals because you need proteins to grow and carb to energy. the body need 2g proteins for each kg bodyweigt - example. I'm 84 kg så i need 84x2 = 168 168g of prot each day but not at once. it must be all over the day so your body can absorb it better in a way. It is diffcult for me to explain in a better biologocal way in english so I try my best in english. I hope you understand my point. 200g of prot is good but not in 1 meal.
