Few pics from a couple weeks ago, but only just plucked up the courage to stick them up lol. Been on a Bill Starr 5x5 variation for about 2 months or so and put on about a stone. Just wanted to point out though that I am not a bodybuilder at all, my main focus is strength but I wanted to increase my bodyweight at this time as well, hence the 5x5. Aim is to keep on adding the weight until I get to about 185-190, hopefully around Easter-summer time. I'm about 176 in the pics.

I'm really lucky with this. It's really difficult for me to put on weight, but when I do it seems to be pretty much entirely lean. I've been consuming 4500-5000kcal a day for over 2 months now and that's as high as my bf has got to. Having said that, I try to make sure my diet's as clean as possible. Training muay thai a few times a week probably helps keep it down as well.
