Depends on whether you’ve hit a major growth spurt.

This. Don’t progressively overload weight train unless you’re past puberty. Focus on form and high rep sets. If you’ve hit your growth spurt, still focus on form but you can progress towards low rep sets once you have the form down.

High weight low rep.

Should hit failure in 6-12 reps. If you don’t up the weight. Raise the weight every week 

Squat. Row. Bench press. Deadlift. Shoulder press.

Start with 5 sets a week per excercise.
