I am 21, 160lbs, 5'9
I just started lifting again and was thinking about taking supplements in about a month. My goal is to get big but not huge, probably around 190lbs. I was wondering what supplements would be right for me.

Welcome to freetrainers brennan_troy. Nice to see you returning top training. I would suggest just using protein and a good multivitamin for now seeing as you are just starting out again. I say protein, only if you can't get the required amount in your daily diet, and for postworkout drink. Re-evaluate how you are doing in about 8 weeks and take it from there regarding exercises and supps.
Good luck.

Creatine would help too, but if he has only just started lifting again, he will probably see good gains just using protein supplements.
It would be good to hold creatine in reserve for when he starts to plateau later down the line.
