Not the best before picture but its all I had available. Also i don't know what I'm supposed to do, since I have to have 50 posts to paste a link, but if you are willing, I'd appreciate if you looked at my before and after photos as of now. Thanks

Im not sure what the poll responses are replying to...

Having started at your current weight, and being your height and age, I highly recommend bulking. You have an awesome base, good pectoral region and abs, just gotta put some muscle on them. 30 pounds heavier and you'd be an animal.

Thanks, I feel like the fact that my gains are all lean muscle may be a sign that I am not eating enough. I fear that I may be burning muscle from not meeting my calorie needs when lifting 5-6 days a week. For bulking would a week off of lifting be good?

Eat, dude... eat. No offense, but slight definition impresses nobody here. You need mass with it. That's the trick.

I'm trying, I have gained 30 since I was hospitalized in the late spring, I'm 10lbs heavier than I've ever been but It's going slowly. Would you say Mass gainer rather than lean protein(Syntha-6) would be better?

Just food, man. I don't get into all these extra supplements and what not people blow money on.

Just eat brah. As long as you are in a caloric surplus and you're lifting well, you will see gains.

Noooo don't take a week off lifting bro! Eat more and lift. A week off while eating more will put on weight, but it'll be fat weight and water weight from just sitting around. Eat a shyt ton more, lift in the 8-12 rep range, and put in work.

Don't overcomplicate it, all you need to do is eat a lot and lift make sure your getting enough of the macros(carbs,fats and proteins). You don't need to spend any money on fancy weight gainers just eat regular food
