What were you doing before this?

if you are gaining quality weight - meaning that 18lbs in 4 weeks is muscle not fat then the results should motivate you to keep lifting

its kind of stupid to be gaining weight that fast and change the program, unless that weight is just fat

I agree with EM here. Unless you either plateaued or have suffered/are currently suffering a serious drop in motivation and as a result are having trouble being consistent or producing appropriate effort levels, I'd be quite careful with switching.

Or obviously, if its mostly fat you're gaining, but that seems unlikely if you're working out 6 days a week. At the same time, 18 pounds in 4 weeks is pretty insane weight gain. I suspect most of it is water/glycogen.

its definatley water / glycogen etc to a large extent from the cycle , in the beginning i actually dropped a bit of BF but feel that's stopped and bodyfat is holding stable now. i followed the same program for awhile now through my cutting now into my bulking phase, i am still gaining strength etc week on week , my program is still working , i usually switch it up to a 3 on 1 off schedule but find at the moment i just cant handle additional bodyparts in a day even with reduced volume.

its more a motivation thing in the gym as opposed to breaking a platue

try the old and proven routine(below) for a while but motivation is a mental part of our daily lifes ,although some AAS tend to mess with our motivation like tren , did you drop it already , didn't you were switching to Npp..??
