I got a question for Choopa Phil and others who have been working out longer than me.

I'm 6'1 and normal weight is around 145. Been working out about 9 months and have only gained around 5 lbs but have gotten really toned. Goal is to stay around 165-170. My diet is similar to what Phil has posted. Even though I haven't really bulked up much my strength has gone up considerably.

A few questions
1. Is lean bulking even possible or should I just bulk and cut, everyone seems to have a different opinion about this.

2. I believe I have my routine dialed in and I get enough sleep. My explanation for the slow gain is weight is that I'm still not intaking enough protein/calories. How do I do so without blowing up in the stomach area? should I cut back on carbs significantly especially on non workout days?

3. I am noticing noticeable fat gains around the stomach area. What can I do about this.Should I do more HIIT and fasted cardio? Can I even do this while trying to bulk to try to get rid of my existing fat?
