What's going on guys? My lifts go up every week by either a few reps, or pounds, whatever it may be. But my weight hasn't budged even when I added like a freakin' weight gainer into my meal plan (adds about 600 calories a day). I'm starting to get really annoyed with it, cuz I'm a lightweight and it shouldn't take more than 3000 calories to get above 150 in weight.

Lifts going up, weight not really upsetting
Bodybuilding isnt 90 minutes in the gym....it's a lifestyle.

i have the same problem..bump those calories seriously, as a light weight also(we are about the same) i need about 4500 cals to gain and im NOT using a weight gainer. Im thinking you have a very fast metabolism as do i and you will need to bump up your cal intake to get any significant gains. i was having the same problems and thought about a gainer but honestly i just started eating so much more to get to 4500 cals a day and balanced my diet and am already showing signs of gains in a few weeks.
haha im eating so much that i **** 2-3 times a day now

Damn, that's a lot of food. 4500 calories is insane, but yeah, I guess it's what I have to do. Freakin' ridiculous metabolisms man....

You probly have a very fast metabolism, or the other activites in your day will burn up more calories, i suggest you to add 500calories every 2-4weeks till you start gaining weight, i guess my metabolism is kinda fast, i'm currently getting 4500calories+ daily and havent gained anyweight in 4weeks.

Unless you're going to compete or, need that level of weight for a goal...I would be worried about the shape, definition, and mass of my body, it may not show on the scales, but if you constantly and consistently workout, you will notice gains.
