If you're really new to working out and the gym I might start with some push ups and pull ups at home. I've had results from just doing push ups and body weight dips. I don't look like a body builder but it has made a difference for me. There are lots of guides on the internet with regard to mass building programs, and most of them employ a method called spinal loading which essentially means heavy squats that jump start hormone production in people who produce high levels of testosterone 'naturally' (most cis-men and of course cis-women and other people with endocrine 'disorders'). One of my personal trainers a while ago said that I didn't have to worry about spinal loading because I use synthetic testosterone and therefore that level is dependent on my shot cycle and not bodily cycles. So, if you see a heavy exercise that you can't do that body builders recommend, deadlifts, squats, etc because you either don't have a spotter or don't know the proper form, don't freak out and let that deter you from exercising. There are plenty of exercises which don't require a spotter/to be a rocket scientist which will give you good results.
