If you was training for size/aesthetics/genetic potential and you wasn't meeting your goals, providing you was putting in the work, and I've no reason to believe you wasn't. Almost certainly the reason why you didn't get there was because you wasn't eating enough. I can't stress that enough. You have to eat an absolutely insane amount of food to gain a significant amount of mass. My walking around weight is roughly 67kg, years ago, when I was really into it, I got up to 82kg, that took me about 3 years. The reason I stopped going the gym wasn't because I wasn't enjoying it, it was the staggering amount of food involved, it seemed like I was eating all day, every day. I've recently started going again, about 8 weeks ago and I'm enjoying it but I'm already fed up with the amount of food I'm having to eat😂.

If your main goal is acquiring mass, why not use protein powder? I prefer to stay away from it but if you want mass, it’s super cost efficient
It doesn't have the calories, someone of my size needs between 80-120g of protein to build muscle. I can get that with 2 pints of full fat milk and a 500g pot of Greek yoghurt, that along isn't enough to build size, your body needs lots of fats and carbs too, just to function day to day. That's even true of me, who spends the vast majority of the time lying on my couch😂.
These views are outdated. I ate a fuck ton and just got fat. I used to take mass gainers and everything. I saw significant results when I trained more intensely and reduced the frequency.
