getting the BUFF!

im finally gaining some weight... slowly but steady. ive gained 10lbs since April

im 6 feet tall at 165lbs.

i need some ADVICE. im happy with the results so far (even tho its taking me for ever)

my arms have grown, and my six pack is under way.

i drink protein (only).

but, here is the reason i think i dont gain weigh as fast. (metabolism)

After every meal i go to the restroom. (yesterday i took a crap 3 times)

WHAT CAN I DO, or take to gain faster results. (ROIDS out of the question, IM ALREADY LIFTING HEAVY)

Good carbs. Keep it up with the protein. Nuts, peanut butter, I think I read that hummus is good. Lift heavy, low reps, compound exercises (squats, cleans, jerks, deadlifts)

Throw in some good wheat breads and grains in your case.

If you want to get big then ripped, you have to do what it takes to get big first. Then you cut up the lean mass. You can't do both.

Consistency and eat well. Eat a LOT. Push yourself extremely hard each and every time. I am a smaller guy but can throw down with the best of them.

How many grams of protein are you intaking a day? you should be at least (and I mean AT LEAST) 1 gram of protein for every pound of your body weight (so 165 grams), but I say aim for 1.5 grams, which would be 247.5 grams, which would come out to be over 40 grams per meal if you're eating 6 times a day.
