Yes, very simple.

High weight & low rep weight lighting. No cardio.
Eat a lot and take a mass gainer and or a protein shake.

Guaranteed.

Right, question time.

What do you currently weigh now? How tall are you? Whats your body fat percentage (if you know it)?

Are you on of those people who are naturally skiny, fat or sort of in the middle?

When lifting, reps of 8-12 with heavy weights(so that your getting to almost failure between them) will exercise your muscles in a way that enourages maximum growth.
As for for food, you have to eat big to get big. Lots of protein, complex carbohydrates and a reasonable amount of fat.

www.bodybuilding.com has a huge article database that makes for a good read.

I'll try and see what relevant data i can dig up for you today.
