I have been attempting slow, lean gains approach for a year now, and I have gained only about 4-5 pounds of muscle while maintaining the same body fat. Just be patient.
I would reevaluate my diet if after a year I only gained 4-5 lbs in a year considering the average person can increase their lbm by .3-.5 lbs per WEEK. Again this is the AVERAGE. Personally I'd rather gain as much as I can in a 6 month period. Yea you're going to put on fat so what? If you know how to get rid of it then it's not a big deal. Personally I love cutting and can't wait to cut this spring and see what I've packed on underneath all this flab
He is recomping, not bulking. The gains are slower.
Also, the average person cannot gain that much outside the first year of lifting and with pretty good conditions.

1) Eat above TDEE consistently (say TDEE + 10-15%)
2) Get enough protein
3) Get on a non-retarded progressive strength routine (could be barbell, bodyweight or kettlebell based)
4) Time + Patience
