I forgot to add in my snack which is an apple, 2 tbsp of almond butter, crackers, and a pack of gummies lol. But with that included it's 3479 calories.

Yeah. I used the my fitness pal and set my goal weight as 185. It said I would need to take in 3,420 calories a day to reach my goal. So I just I bumped it up and googled a 4,000 calorie meal plan and decided to do that. Along with this advice and the meal plan hopefully I'll start to see some gains.

I believe I have a pretty good form in majority of my workouts, so I've been told. I've seen some guys do squats and they're barley bending their knees at all.

What would you suggest instead of a body part split? Also I wasn't too familiar with the term "progressive tension overload" but I just searched it and that's some good advice. Im for sure gonna start adding that into my workout. Thanks for that, it's appreciated!

By 3xfull body I assume you mean doing a full body workout 3 days out of the week? Also should I do 2 exercises per body part or is that totally just up to preference?

Does anyone have a set meal plan that has a high calorie intake? I'm 5'8, 158 pounds, and have a lean(mainly skinny, imo) build to me. I'm in the gym at least 5 days a week but see little to no gains. Any tips or meals that can help me pack on some pounds? I also want to at least weigh about 185.
