How long have you been on your current diet/training regimen? As an ectomorph, it will definitely take consistency and time to put on significant size. That being said, the total volume of your training looks very low. I would want to know a little more about weight/%max and goals before I suggested anything specific.

about the training volume, i tried like 30 to 35 sets volume training, and only ended up over training, but maybe i should try higher volume… i really don’t know =S, mi goals are 200 lbs with 8 % bf at least, I know its a long shot, but i know i can make it… Im very disciplined

Ive been in this regimen for 2 months, and i gained like 12 lbs, and about the max weight, I really haven’t tried a one rep max, but maybe this will help:

barbell squat: (45lbs barbell, 4 45lbs disks, 2 10 lbs disks) 245lbs, 8 reps, maybe its not much, but I add 5 lbs each week proper form ( Im a perfectionist , i do worry a lot about the form)
bench press: (45lbs barbell, 4 35lbs disks) 185lbs,8 reps
deadlift: 185lbs 8 reps

Forget about ratios, if you’re not gaining weight you’re not eating enough.

If you’ve gained 12 lbs. in 2 months then you are doing something right. The reason I asked about your %max was to get an idea of your intensity level. If your current volume level is producing results then I wouldn’t change it. You need to experiment and see how you get the best response.

At 2 months your gains are probably slowing down so I would recommend implementing some variations. Your diet looks good for the most part. Make sure you are getting plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. It is important to keep a good balance in your diet, especially when trying to put on size. Keep it up.

thanks man, maybe its time for me to increase the caloric intake, like chimera182 said, I stopped gaining weight at the same pace I started, do you think I should increase the volume of the training also?, and by the way, i was 120 pounds 3 years ago, I have been training hard for 2 1/2 years, just to look normal, an I want to look great, and I have also gained some fat… I used to have a very defined six pack, but when i started this training and diet i lost definition and gained some fat over the traversals (love handles), but I have no complains, I guess its inevitable…
