Am I (have I) gaining any muscle?

[riffdex]

I have uploaded pictures to my "progress photos", can anyone please take a look and give their opinion. Does it even look like I've gained any mass? Please take a moment of your time, I would really appreciate it! (:

Sorry for double post, please disregard.

It looks like you did gain some quality mass, congratulations also for the much better body definition you acquired.

Besides the mirror I keep an eye on the scale fortnightly and get check body fat every month or so.

Definitely better. Time to lean up though.

How can you guys tell? I can't really see a difference.. Any areas in particular stand out? And people have been telling me I need more mass before a cut, you guys think I should cut now? Bf estimate would help too. And thanks for the help!

For me, i can see a difference in your overall size around your chest, shoulder area. You look bigger for sure...

You can tell because even though you gained a little bit of fat at the waist, your trunk was a straight line before and now it's wider in the upper back than at the waist. Which means that, more than likely, you've put on muscle up there.

You look like you have in your shoulders/chest.

I'm thinking that I'm going to bulk for another month, then start a slow cut. The reason being, that I am on my last month of a 6-month course of accutane. This medication, being fat soluble, is more effectively absorbed with high-fat meals. I've been eating a higher fat diet since I started and I feel it helped my body with absorbtion. I'm a little concerned about cutting as I am following a Starting Strength routine and still getting results. Any advice?
