Some background about me. I am currently around 168lbs, on the shorter side of 5’10, and am 18 years old. I don’t know my body fat but standing in front of the mirror I have a 4pack/faint 6pack but still some love handles. Currently I am in the middle of my senior lacrosse season (Goes from March 1st- May 23rd ish)and am starting to think about the summer and getting ready for fall ball.
My goals are a bit opposite, seeing as I would like to get bigger but be lean. My goal weight is to be roughly 185lbs by the time I step on campus. I am going to be playing lacrosse in college and as a defenseman the extra weight will help me against some of the bigger kids I will be covering.
I work with a strength and speed coach during the off-season, doing speed and sprinting technique 3xs a week and lifting 4x a week, core lifts and injury prevention stuff.
My diet is kinda that of a typical teenager but below is my plan for the summer to put on lean muscle. Please critique and offer some advice/suggestions/wise words of wisdom.

I a friend suggested I take the Optimum Nutrition- Serious Mass, have not ordered it yet, thoughts on this versus regular whey protein?
Also I am going to be taking fish oil, creatine malate, and a multivitamin.
My initial thoughts on this are that it is pretty good in regard to the majority of it being whole foods, not heavily processed, a good amount of protein but I am not sure if that is to much carbs and to little fats.
