you can make significant progress

however, going to the gym is a life choice. if you stop after 6 months i guarantee you will greatly regress

ask the people at the gym
get a personal trainer

when you say "bigger", you mean more muscle right ?

focus on compound exercises (ie. ones that involve the use of more than 1 joint), like benching, deadlifts, squats. at least start benching.
then i guess do your other isolated ones, bicep curls, tricep pulldowns, shoulder press etc.

heavy weights, enough so that you can only do 3 sets of between 5-10 reps.

do regular pushups as well, that might help.

erm... eat lots of food (but healthy, and meat, no fats/greasy/sugary stuff), eat 6 small meals per day instead of 3 big meals, to keep your body in a fully metabolic state (or something).

but i dont see why you're only going for 6 months.

i started out in year 10 and finished at the end of yr 12, got fairly strong (for my height), then for a whole year i did nothing, which was very dumb of me because it made me heaps weak.

if gym memberships are too expensive for you, maybe get yourself some weights at home so after your 6 months of beefing up (no idea why you're doing this if you only wanna do it for 6 months), you can still continue to do weights like once a week or so in your backyard/garage/room.
