Food IS Fuel

Having been eating more for the past couple of weeks, I can definatley say that eating a bit more definatley leads to strength gains. Since the day I started eating more, 5 weeks ago now, I have not had a single gym session where I havn't had to add weight to an exercise. Don't get me wrong though, my increments are only 2.5kg for upper body stuff (bench, press, chins) and 5kg for legs (squat, deadlift). But after stalling out on gains for a while i'll take anything, lol.

My goal of 13 stone seems to be edging closer and closer, and without any fat gain! Even though the main extra on my diet is a litre of milk a day (the fat stuff), I am not adding any fat, or any noticeable fat anyways. That said, I can't see any improvements in muscle size anywhere either. I have added 9 pounds in the past few weeks (from 11'9 the day I started to 12'4 yesterday) and I have no idea where this weight is. I am not that upset at this, strength is my main goal at the minute and this is coming along very nicely, and the physique will come eventually (by 13 stone im gonna be buff! lol).
Taking pictures to document my "bulk" is a great idea. It will allow me to see the changes made during different stages and also to see where I put most of the weight on. Another great thing is that it lets me see my back (pictured), which for a pretty obvious reason I have never seen before. I now have to say that my back is my best feature, because it is alot more awesome than I imagined it to be, and because my front and legs are crap, lol.
