Started lifting heavier but with less frequency, which I have found has helped alot.
Would it be best to get go a little over your ideal weight, and then cut down to it, or just gradually build up and try to limit as much fat gain as possible?
For anyone trying to gain weight, whole milk really has been my saviour so far. Pretty cheap, and gets loads of calories and protein in.
If you're really serious about that kind of thing, then go over your target and cut down, you'll never get to your target with your dream body fat just through bulking. But don't take this as a message to go crazy, you need to monitor your body fat regularly with your weight and work out what weight you'd be if you were, say, 10% body fat. It takes time.Richard said:Richard said:Recentley gone from 148lb to 158lb in the last six weeks, and gained some good lean muscle in the process, which I am chuffed with.

Anyone any recommendations? :)
