Weight gain/strength gains

[RealtorinCT]

I have for well over a year now maintained my weight in the 132 to 135 range. I follow a very basic weight lifting schedule where I deadlift bench press and overhead press. I recently added squatting which I had never done with very much weight before. I had finally built my strength to the point where I could do a decent squat around 135. I always felt like my form was too bad 2 really Squat and he serious weight so I kept to kettlebells and stuff like that. So I started squatting and then I gained a lot of weight on my bench and my overhead press. But now in the past month since I've added the squats I have gained on average 3 pounds a week every single week. My thighs have gone from twenty one and a half inch to 23 and 1/2 in. My waist from 26 to 28. My hips from 37 to 39. And so on. I have not changed my diet! There's no way I suddenly added 10000 calories a week to my diet. My boyfriend says this is a product of my training and I just have to deal with it if I want to lift heavy and make gains. And I really do I'm very happy that I got to the point where I can do 3 sets of 5 at 115 on the bench press. But it's kind of meaningless if I put on 12 pounds at that time too. Does anyone have any advice?

I have gained on average 3 pounds a week every single week. ... I have not changed my diet!

...Nah.

Ever heard "energy cannot be created or destroyed"? Either you're consuming more calories, burning less, or your body is able to spontaneously create energy, in which case you should have yourself over to science please.

See a doctor if you’ve put on 12 pounds in a month with no changes to diet. That’s a large amount of unexplained weight.
