Obviously I'm not as lean any more, but other than that what do you think? I gained about 30 pounds.

Id say 5ibs would be muscle maybe 10, when you bulk you need to eat clean, I think you look better in you first pic but thats just me, Id rather be cut than big with excess fat. But some people prefere to get big then cut down, I personally do it in steps gaining as much lean body mass as posible before putting oon to much fat. I have gone from 135-180 in the last 2 years doing this with just a small % of bf increase.

My segestion is to bulk clean. and keep training rome was not built in a day

Mike youve done great. YOu should probably clarify your training goals for people who dont know you train for strength.

Thanks Smurfy.

I'm the first to admit I gained a fair amount of fat. I'm actually in the process of cutting now (I've gone from 215 to 210 - some of the photos are at 215). I'm looking to get to 200 without sacrificing any strength/muscle.

I know some of you obsess about gaining a bit of fat, but I find it much easier to lose fat than gain muscle. I will post up some pics when I'm leaner.
