I think Westside would be a little advanced for him at this point. A simple routine would be better.

I’m fourteen, and I am sort of in your same situation, I’m looking for mass here. If your progression stops, then it’s time to change up your routine, go for hypertrophy at first ( reps of 8-12, with enough weight to reach failure at rep twelve, use three to four sets, and NO MORE than three excercises per body parrt) ABsolutely remember to take in as many calories and carbs as possible, and do not overtrain. So like I said, do one body part a day, legs one, chest one, off, back one, then shoulders and arms one, that sort of thing. but i cannot stress how important it is to use good form, keep your tempo in mind, and use at the very most three excercises per bodypart, and maybe a burnout. best of luck to you

I completely disagree with the one-bodypart-a-day routine. It’s outdated and will cause burnout quickly.
He needs something basic like ABBH or Westside for Skinny Bastards.
The beginners blast off program would be perfect for you. It is a well rounded well thought out program.
Work on your diet, it will make or brake you.
Quitting after 3 months is WEAK , grow some balls and take charge of your life, if you want to get bigger then do the things you need to do that will help you accomplish your goal. It takes a wile to get big, it is a relatively slow process.
Hope that Helps!
How about a training partner?
At 19 there is nothing more fun that lifting weights with your pals.
Healthy competition and all that.
