Guys that age with athletic genes and naturally high testosterone levels, if you give them the right program and they consume the calories, then yes it can work.
It's a simple program, just follow Rippetoe's Starting Strength. Here's the link: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:The_Program
Basically, you have 2 workouts: workout A and workout B.
Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift
Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Press
5x3 Power Cleans
You alternate workouts on non-consecutive days and that's pretty much it. That's the original program. If you follow the link above, they've added some other movements as the weeks progress. Plus, a guy with Franklin's genes can probably benefit from a heavier workload. Most normal people are better off limiting the amount of work they do and making sure they eat enough and get sufficient rest. But these natural athletes are freaky in the way their bodies respond.
I wish I knew this when I was 17-22.
