Are you getting any bloating and how much have you gained and how long did it take? What about the Tribulus do I need it? & what about a post cycle? Seems I will have to wait another year before I start but I just want to get all the info correctly and hopefully gain 20 -30 lbs prior to starting. as for my diet my trainer is the one who gave it to me for 3500 calories 4days and 3700 calories for 3days a week but my weight has not changed as he expected so he put me on creatine and that only added an extra 6 pounds to my regular weight gain for the past 2 yrs of 20 lbs a yr. I am just tired of being the small guy.
I can understand your frustration. Check out the HST website:
http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/hst_index.html
HST has helped many people grow, even once they had reached some perceived "plateau".
Read through that website. It contains training and diet information.
It is, of course, possible that even with HST you will not continue to grow. If you follow HST
by the letter for a 6 week HST routine, and still fail to grow, the next step would be to contact a physician for a complete physical and blood work for testosterone replacement therapy.
pbhardbody is very knowledgeable about replacement therapy, check out his thread:

It is possible that at your age your testosterone levels are quite low.
Make sure that you are not doing
anything, which might inhibit your natural testosterone production, mainly: alcohol consumption, drug use (even otc and prescription drugs you may not need), stress and lack of sleep.
In regards to your other questions:
"Are you getting any bloating and how much have you gained and how long did it take?"
I'm using an AI, Arimidex, which is standard practice for a testosterone cycle. I have certainly gained, but I am only in week 2 right now of a 10 week cycle. I have not yet experienced any bloating. My measurements are all taken utilizing a medical Tanita scale. Feel free to PM me in a few weeks and I'll let you know if any serious bloat arises.
