I started focusing on keeping all my work outs really clean now. Im happy with my strenght, just wish I could put on some size. Ive been working out since I was 14, starting going harder at the gym at 15 and never stopped. Been going 5 days a week. Have had to stop for monthes due to injuries which would make me lose the gains I worked soo hard for.
Think im going to start a cycle of creatine and try a mass gainer. I bought a mass gainer once, mutant mass, couldnt stomach it and just stopped protein shakes all together now for over 2 years. Think with the right suppliments, I can break through the my current plateau

It sucks being an ectomorph, but if you can't put on weight, you're not trying hard enough. Most ectomorphs don't realize how much they have to eat, and still try to eat healthy the whole time... that's probably not going to cut it for you. Getting a mass gainer will be a start. Other suggestions:
Peanut butter
Pizza
Burger King (whopper with cheese!)
Mc'Donalds (mcmuffin breakfast!)
Fattier meats (pork, 80/20 beef, etc)
Eat 6 meals (not 3 meals and 3 snacks).
Creatine will help you gain water weight, but not a lot of additional mass. If you want mass, spend that money on food. You truly might have to eat some "junk food" to get your weight up. And if you gain some fat, so what? You're an ectomorph. That will come right back off as soon as you tone it back <jealous>
