Hi, iwe tried to bulk since August last year with gainers on 1440 calories 70g protein 290g carbs iwe used about 4bags on 5.5kg each 2shakes a day with a massive amount of food to that but still haven't gained a pound iwe almost lost about 1,2kg...
And this morning I had a thought that maybe if I go for some definition a while now burn some fat and lower my intake kinda big (not that I think I need to aim for definition right now since my 12.1% BF serves me well) and after that I go on a new bulk, do you think this will do any good or just ruin my body?

Don't waste your money on weight gainer. Buy whole foods and eat. Do resistance training. If you are doing a ton of cardio, cut it down alittle and see if that helps you put on weight.

I use milk, 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder, a cup of oatmeal, scoop of peanut butter, and half a banana (optional) and blend it up. Chug it down 1-3 times a day when bulking. Keep your diet before bulking about the same possibly up your food intake still but this will add anywhere from 600-1100 extra calories a day per shake. I use the magic bullet and I would highly recommend that blender to everyone. Give this a try as its very inexpensive and very effective as a mass gain shake.
Obssession is a word lazy people use to describe dedication.
If your not nervous before going to the gym your probably not working out hard enough (my new favorite quote)

Stop counting calories and protein, eat shtloads of real food. Lift heavy sht.
Do this.- for breakfast, eat 2 cups oats + 1 cup milk + 2 tbsp honey, and then 6 scrambled eggs
- for morning tea, a piece of fruit and a glass of milk
- for lunch, a roast chicken breast and 2 cups mixed vegies and 1 cup potatoes, and a glass of milk
- for after tea, a piece of fruit and a glass of milk
- for dinner, a 220-350g steak, 2 cups mixed vegies and 2 cups rice, and a glass of milk
- just before bed, two peanut butter sandwiches and a glass of milk
- barbell back squat, 3 warmup sets with gradually ascending weight for 5 reps each, then the top weight for 20 reps. Start with the empty bar (20kg). If you do 20 reps, next time add 1.25kg to each side, ie 2.5kg total. If you fail, try again next time until you do it.
- barbell bench press, 3 warmup sets with gradually ascending weight for 5 reps each, then the top weight for 3 sets of 5 reps. Start with the empty bar. If you do 5,5,5, next time add 2.5kg. If you fail, try again next time until you do it.
- chinups. Start with 5 reps total, go easy, get them out in however long it takes you, no need to grind. For example, whether it's 5 in one go, 3 then 2, or 2,1,1,1 or whatever, doesn't matter. Next time, add 1 to your total making it 6. Keep going until you can do 30 total.
If you do not do this, then do not return to speak to us again.

(290+70)x4 = 1440. So, we're to believe that you're consuming 0g fat? I find that highly unlikely.
You claim to be consuming weight gainers and a "massive amount of food." I don't know what your idea of "massive" is, but if I want to I can sit down and stand up 2,000kcal later. It won't be a healthy 2,000kcal, but that's beside the point. I think you need to be consuming at least 1,000kcal more, preferably made up of real foods, as oppose to the stuff I eat when I want 2,000kcal in a sitting.SQ 172.5kg. BP 105kg. DL 200kg. OHP 62.5kg @ 67.3kg

To gain weight, you simply need to consume more than you burn. Some adolescents have a difficult time adding enough weight to fill out your frame and make take some time.
. Whether you count calories or not is a personal choice. If you haven't been counting total intake, I would consider it to at least get an idea of where you are at. Adding more calories to your weekly average when you are not gaining.
. Your food choices should be based on preferences and when and how often you eat should be based on your lifestyle. Calorie dense foods (high fat) can help meet caloric needs.
. Be consistent and patient adding weight can be a slow process.
For programs, I would consider looking through this thread. There are a variety of great programs to choose from.

And try to ignore the negativity.
