Since around December I've been on a mass-building routine. I started out at 145 (but I was skinny-fat since I had lost a lot of weight from my youth but in a bad, unhealthy way) and had no muscle. I got all my newb gains along with my original lean mass back and am at 157 now with slow but steady progression. I would like to stop at around 175-180 before I begin to cut off these last stubborn pounds of fat the right way with a goal of around 10% BF. I'm aiming more towards a fairly buff model physique more than a powerful bodybuilder shape.
I'm on a clean bulking diet (eating a lot but only healthy foods) intaking roughly 275 grams of protein a day (only two servings coming from powders) and around 3,000 calories, but unfortunately my gains are very slow... sometimes so slow that I wonder if I am eating enough. Good thing is, I have not appeared to have gained an ounce of fat with it. Ironically when comparing to my childhood, I think I might possibly be an ectomorph like Xanthos clearly is. Afterall, my childhood chubbiness could be explained by the fact that I would very commonly go through entire bags of Snickers and Reeses. xD
