Just a quick update:
Going really well - I set out with a goal of about 175lbs by August - so I gave myself about 6 months to gain 20lbs of lean mass (as I had no idea how I would go). So far (after about 10 weeks), I've gained 17lbs (1.7lbs a week) of mostly lean mass with a little fat.
So I'm now 172lbs (up from 155lbs at end of Jan) and lifting more each week. I've increased my bench by about 45lbs and everything else has had just as much of an increase.
Motivation is coming thick and fast as not only am I seeing results with the weights I lift and the increase in mass and definition, but also from the comments I get each day. For whatever reason, over the last 2 weeks my chest/back/traps have filled out alot more than they had been, so I'm really happy with that.
Only downside to all of this is that all of my clothes are starting to not fit me! So most shirts I wear are starting to get fairly uncomfortable! And my waist size has increased about an inch or 2. :P
