I'm not a major fan of supplements but perhaps some Glutamine for post-workout.

Good sleep is also a must! Try n be in bed for 10pm/11pm and get 7-8 hours REM sleep.

For motivation, Ive personally found watching workout videos on dedicated forums worked best for me. Google "ronnie coleman" haha
I really would urge writing everything down in a log-book as it provides motivation. At leats do it for 1 month as habits usually take 1 month to form.

Use a weight which is such that on your 10th rep it becomes almost a struggle.
Light weight/many reps = conditioning
Heave weight/low reps = mass building
Write down the weight ur lifting n aim to increase gradually week-by-week by around 2-5kg

Decide which body type you fall into and do a google search on the types of exercise routines most optimal to you (ecto-, endo- and mesomorphs are the 3 body types)

Nutrition has been covered above. Id recommend good natural nutrition over supplements. Think of it as the fuel your body needs to move and GROW.
If you ecercise and dont eat adequatly, your muscles begin to eat themselves (autotrophic metabolism). So keep eating and keep in a HYPERtrophic momentum

Good Luck!
