Two people can do the exact same workout and if one eats right and the other doesn't guess who it will work for? I'd imagine your bench didn't increase, but you learned to lift more. You probably had that potential when you started just didn't use it. 10 kilos a week for 4 weeks doesn't happen.

I am old school, and have seen many many as well as myself bodybuilders that had trouble gaining weight. The solution was ice cream, pasta, etc. along with your protein intake being high. If you are a true 'hardgainer' as you think you are, then eat, eat, eat. You will not get real fat like someone who gains rather easily. This should be obvious by the fact you have not gained by what you are now doing. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
