start of with a good trainings plan. train 3 times a week and remember you dont grow at the gym what means rest is just as important than training. make sure you eat enough and especially protein. go hardcore at the gym and you will reach youre goals bro

^^^^^^^^ philosopher nailed it right on the head, you have to eat tons of food that are high in nutrients and protein. When you go to the gym, just explode on yourself, a good workout is about from 30 mins. least, and 45 minutes max, after 45 mins, your just tiring out your muscles. But training alone isnt going to get you stronger, its the amount of sleep you give to your body. Your body has to be able to rejuvenate it self. So, good luck and have a great summer bro

Hey bro. Why do you start in the summer and you say the WHOLE summer like that is long. Don't wanne discourage you, but building muscles takes ALOT of time. I hope you don't think lets start in the summer and beginning of next school year the won't recognize me anymore. If it was that easy, everyone would be a big mofo! So unless there's a good reason, I suggest you start right now!
The advantage you have is that you're already here, so you can learn alot very soon and don't spend your first year doing stupid stuff in the gym, so try to read alot here and don't be afraid to ask!

^That won't last long. If you're anything like me, I wnated the same thing you wanted. Just to cut up a bit and look good....but then something changed, I started isolating more, adding weight to my body, and as soon as you see the big guy in your gym with the veins bulging and throwing weight around like its nothing, you're gonna want it.

Not wanting to tread on JornT's toes but I would suggest doing 2 sessions with compound exercises as the base if you want add muscle the quickest.

Session 1 - Squat
SLDL
Lunges
Calf Raises
BB Curl

Session 2 - Bench Press
Military Press
Chins (or lat pulldown)
BB Row
Dips (or close grip bench press)

Aim for 2 sets of 6 - 10 reps for your main sets. Start with reasonably light weights to get your form good and get used to the exercises, then each time you train try and add a little bit of weight to the bar or do a couple more reps.

Train 3 times per week:

Mon - Session 1
Tues - Rest
Weds - Session 2
Thurs - Rest
Fri - Session 1
Sat & Sun - Rest
Then Monday start on Session 2 and carry on like this. In doing the compound exercises you are using the most muscles per exercise and therefore putting more stress on them to optimise muscle growth. Eat regular meals and make sure you get a good amount of protein and carbs in every one. And get 8 hrs sleep. This should put you on the right track.

You seem to know what your talking about so what exercies, equipment, etc i should do and use when i first go? This would help me and my friend that will be going with me.
Bro, first time I saw Ronnie (heck I didn't even know who the hell it was, funny to know now that the first bodybuilder I ever saw was the biggest) I was like WTF, why in the world does anyone wanne look like that. But now some years later, I look at it totally diffrent. First time you see them your shocked, but you get used to it and actully start appreciating it. Now I'm not saying that I want that kind of body, but I want to become BIG, and I was just like you at first. Anyway, enough with the pointless BS, you want some routine.

ok, start doing full body workouts. You'll see alot of people doing muscle splits in the gym, and I won't go discuss why this is bad and all you gotta trust me on this.

I recommend going 3 times a week. Okay, some points:
- Train leggs. Maybe you think now: but ofcourse, in that case, good for you! But alot of beach boys as we call them just train to impress girls and only think about biceps, abs and maybe some pec's. Trust me, they look silly with there chicken leggs. Now I don't wanne throw to much detailed info at you at once, but another advantage is when your training leggs your upperbody will actully benefit from this and grow harder too!
- You start with the biggest muscles groups and from there on you go down in size. So this means first excersize is for leggs, then back then chest etc.
- Start with machines. I know all the bigg guys are in the free weight area, but youur body has to get used to movements. Imagine doing Bench Press, you gotta push the bar straight up, and not have to wory about balance. On machines, you are following the forced route and get used to that and benefit from that later in the freeweight excersize.
- I''m not gonna make you a training program, because you have to learn and understand how to do so. You have some months till then, start reading here, and then week before staring post what you have in mind (you will be able to come up with something, it's not that hard actully) and then we'll point out what you can change and why, it's all about the learning proces.
- Lastly, you don't need an advance program, your body will grow fast in the beginning no matter what you do, but it doesn''t mean you can joke around, just don't make it too complicated. It's more important that you start training and learning the basics and EAT WELL (this means, start reading the nutrition section too from now on) nutrition is just as important ass you will learn fast there.

I hope (and think) you'll be hooked to training and don't quite after those months.

Good luck, and be free to ask.
