I could post this in the fitness or bodybuilding subs, but I'll see what you guys have to say...

I'm 140lbs (age 27) and have been lifting religiously every other day for about 8-9 years now. Yes, no mistypes. When I started, I was about 130lbs. I currently max at at around 175lbs on the flat bench to give some perspective. I have abs and very defined muscles, but certainly lack in size.

I have a stressful job and only have about 2-3 hours of time to lift and do everything else needed to prepare for the next day. In bed at 10pm, wake up at 5:30am. I've been constantly tired and drained for months on end. I've tried to factor in an extra hour of sleep.

Calories-wise, I've found I've been at a deficit for probably years now. I've upped my calorie intake and started watching my macros. I've trained myself to enjoy 'good' foods. I only eat whole foods... no junk food, fast food, etc. Vegetables, meat, eggs, fruit.

Is my solution to simple eat more of all this to increase my progress? I'm hella far behind for the work and effort I've put in so far over the years.

TRP-related: since becoming unplugged, I've realized the power in being physically larger, in life in general and with women. I have the mindset of being healthy and taking care of my body already engrained in me, but I'm really looking for size now.
