I've gained 5lbs the last few months but I've gotten much stronger in that same timeframe. Finally benched 315 on Tuesday which I have been chasing off and on for a long time. Not bad for 5'11" @ 185lbs.
Less running, more protein, and doing 5x5 has paid off. Also did this while doing a mostly low carb diet but I have been killing my protein intake. Plan to go back to more carb balanced starting Sunday but I am going to try to cut calories for the next 4 weeks to get ready for Mexico.
