Welcome to the forum!

Nutrition brings size and strength, not so much the push-ups nor bench press.

Compound lifts are the way to go.

Squat, Deadlift and Press'

kris speaks the truth and you have the right idea squats and lifts like those are key if your really trying to grow.

good advice above here, the big three should be what you design your program around in my opinion.
