    Why am I gaining fat on a lean? (Photos)

    Shall I just quit ? No results (pics)
    Hi so October 17th which is 4 months ago I was 74.7 kg and I started my lean bulk. Now I’m 79 kg. I eat clean food salmon avacado eggs chicken rice protein powder loads of fruit.

    My bench has gone up from 80 kg 5 reps to 8 reps so not much. My squats gone up from 80 kg to 90 kg. Getting stronger on everything else. I go gym 5-6 day a week training each body part twice a week.
    Example chest bench 3 sets of 8-10 then incline 3 sets then tricep or shoulders then repeat again in 4 days but like chest and flys etc

    Here’s photos I gained fat.
    I did put on abit muscle
    I was eating 3300 calories a day first which I now lowered to 2900 because of fat gain. As I have a job that driving 8-10 hour a day so low cardio movement.

    I’m 6 ft and 79 kg now.

    First 3 pics are 4 months ago
    Other 3 pics are yesterday
    Also been going gym 5-6 years. I train close to failure or mostly to failure.
    Find it hard to put on muscle also my testosterone level is around 461 mnol.
    I’m 30

    At 30 years old and after 5-6 years of consistent working out pretty much the best you can hope for is adding 1-2 lbs of muscle in a year if you're lucky (with optimum training and nutrition).
    All it takes is consistency, effort, proper nutrition, good programming, and TIME.

    Don't be upset with the results you didn't get from the work you did not do.

    All comes down to training, nutrition, but more importantly YOUR GENETICS.

    Your lifts do seem a bit low given the amount of muscle you have though, which could indicate a training/programming issue. If you're not following a proven program, now is probably the time to actually jump on one.

    You don't have a lot of body fat. The rate at which you can cut will be less. You might even need to break up meals and spread them out more to get much leaner.

    ...

    Are you bulking? This is a fat loss forum. Sounds like you need to reduce your surplus even more, not that I would know. Total calories matters. Or big bulk then cut.

    Increasing your intake of fiber-rich foods could promote weight loss and support overall health.
