Increase your body mass first.
Oh my...where shall I begin...?
Gain weight first before thinking about building up muscles? What kind of "weight" do you think he'll be gaining if he doesn't gain "muscle"? Let's see, there's fats, bone density and water. Water obviously won't help in gaining muscle, bone density can't be easily increased without strength training and proper diet, which will also increase muscle mass, ah, so all that's left is fat...
Are you suggesting he get fatter before gaining muscle, or rather, are you suggesting he gets fat, and then "convert the fats into muscles"?
