Answer
Hello,
I am in a similar position too you where i have a thin frame of a body, you are like me an ectomorph.
i could give you heaps of information but i feel it would possibly be alot to take in at the moment.
So what i am going to do is give you a web link which should help or atleast guide you in the right direction.
What i will say is you need to eat clean and big, and train with heavy weights. What you may find as well once you get into it that you will have a sudden burst of muscle growth followed by a spell where you may not have as much muscle mass as you would like after a time of training. Don't be frustrated about that spell as you will ride it eventually.
Basic rules, eat well, and big and train hard try focusing on compound type exercises.
Anyhow all the links are below i hope you get to where you want too with these links and if you need any more advice feel free to let me know.
