I'm 15, 5'10 and 140lbs.
I play golf and hockey. I'm looking to gain some upper body strength and maybe gain some weight?
I have a gym membership, I'm looking for some good exercises, and maybe a nutrition plan.
Take care of your routine diet and regular exercise. Don't take stress. Simple
Do lots of pull ups and do bench press
also you have to eat and drink right too!
I suggest you try Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength. Perfect for building strength especially for athletes. There are also parts there that will help you gain strength and explosiveness at the same time.
Pulls ups for sure. Just make sure to keep it up daily can't do it one day then again a week later.

There's no significant increase in upper body muscular strength when doing pullups. Rippetoe's the best way for beginners.
Push ups and pull ups.But not regular ones, make a variation of them.I do 10 push ups then stand up and immideatly go back to push up place and do 9 push ups then stand up and again 8 push ups.Everything this untill im done to one.Try it.That last push up(1) is gonna be the hardest one lol.
Here's also good way to practice for upper strenght.It's my video and I'm training every day.I can remember a while ago I wasn't even able to do a planche tuck.Now Im able to do a planche tuck to a handstand and back to tuck and handstand.It takes time and practice!
If its upper body you will have to lift alot of weights to get big up there
pullups and dips are really nice push up the basics
