17 and coming back from a layoff
Here's a situation.
You've just turned 17, the hormones are raging, the penis is seemingly perpetually erect, and as a metaphoric cherry on the cake, you have great genes for athletics in terms of speed, quickness and explosiveness and are naturally both lean and neurally efficient. Everything you eat goes to muscle. You've ran Starting Strength for a couple months last year, gaining 25lbs of mass and putting 100lbs on your squat. Then, school sports started and you played, had fun, learned some things, increased your conditioning levels. Unfortunately you also stopped lifting 3 months ago and lost some weight and strength.
School sports have ended. You are about to go on another 3-4month voyage known to men as "Starting Strength" to get ready for your first season of tackle football, needing to gain a good 40lbs of bodyweight and get way stronger.
Questions:
1)What should such a gifted young man with so much on his side, do differently to take advantage of his blessed (genetics, puberty, great calorie-partitioning) situation?
2)How should said young man program his first month of SS in order to get back to where he was quickly and pass it, and how should he eat? (GOMAD + mcdoubles right off the bat?)

What's your current height/weight?
You haven't lifted in 3 months. Just do the program like you did before.
And at your age you can probably get away with eating everything in sight, and you're also probably going to drop some pounds during the season as well.
Eat a lot. Lift a lot. Sleep a lot. Repeat.

You talk like you're his dad.

Lift. Eat. How tall are you and how much do you weigh? And how were the lifts? Putting "100 pounds on your squat" doesn't mean anything if it was 80 to 180.
Anyway, this all doesn't matter, just do the program, get a lot of protein, and ignore any hard thinking about "partitioning" or worrying about "programming". If your squat worksets don't start with something that has a 3 in the title by the end of this, you're doing it wrong and should've had more milk.

Why did you find it necessary to mention your dick?

I would be careful combining power cleans and a perpetual erection. Just from experience.
