If you check the sidebar there is a great starting guide. here you go

The reason we emphasize "5x5" and like programs is because the foundation of lifting is all about "compound lifts".

Compound lifts are those that hit a lot of the fundamental "areas" of the body, thus creating maximum reward in terms of muscle group for the effort they require. These are:

Back Squat
Bench Press
Deadlift
Overhead Press

Stronglifts 5x5 now has an app if you prefer. It does make it easy to track, but the most fundamental piece of advice is you are in school - there are resources available to you to learn how to do compound lifts properly. That does not mean a class per se - even if you don't play just ask the football coach.

You would be surprised how happy to help not just the teachers but other students who have been doing this for a bit are. This only gets better in college, when your peers get older and more mature and the coaching staff is more serious. Good luck

Jeff Nippard knows his stuff. Start with 5x5 until gains stall for a couple months. After that, do Jeff Nippard's programs. However, you should strive to become knowledgeable in lifting principles so you can start programming for yourself (you all should).

For learning, I recommend reading from some of the greatest minds in lifting today. The guys from JTTS/RP like Mike Isratel and Chad Wesley Smith are the perfect place to start. Greg Nuckols and Omar Isuf are also good. Start by reading the Art and Science of Lifting by Omar and Greg, the Scientific Principles of Strength Training by Mike Isratel and others.

Get in touch with /u/GayLubeOil and he will get you set up on a damn good routine.

5x5 or Starting Strength to start, then move to PHUL/PHAT depending on available days.

Stronglifts... just don't stay on it for more than a few months otherwise you'll just end up with massive legs.

Squatting heavy everytime you hit the gym is just overkill. Its time that could be otherwise spent on more upper body work which will do more for increasing your smv
