Lol at the genetic limit comment…
Youth is a double edged sword. Your body is primed to grow but your mind is filled with inexperience.

Believe it or not more than one guy has been told not to get more muscular by the girls and has analyzed it seriously.

Well it looks that you don’t count your calories, and most important, the grams of protein you’re eating. You’re probably about 200 pounds, strive for 300 daily grams of protein eating every 3 hours. I won’t tell you what to eat, do the research on nutritional information.
Nice progress, but as everyone else has said, you need to eat more…
You’re eating less than what I was eating in the spring when I was on a fat loss diet for summer… I’m 5’6" to 5’7" (on a good day) and walk around right now 175-185 with a goal to hit 200 by spring 2010…
A good rule of thumb is 1-1.5g of protein per body weight and then adjust weekly/bi-weekly as your weight increases, etc.
What are you training for? Size? Power? General fitness? What exactly are your goals?
Are you allergic to certain foods (e.g. eggs, diary, etc.)?

Lol, good luck now OP, matsm21 is like 6’7 or something ridiculous.
Man you look young like me…give it some time…you plan on training for a long time right? Let’s say your whole life?
Well then in 2 years I can see you adding a SIGNIFICANT amount of muscle/size.
Especially since your tall, lots of room for growth.
Don’t get frustrated that you arent growing at the rate you want or anything.
Start by somethin real simple.
Get in 1.2 g’s of protein per lb. bodyweight.
So take your bodyweight, multiply it by that.
Then divide that number by how many meals you are gonna eat (lets say 6)…if your 200lbs
200x1.2 = 240g’s protein = so you need in 6 meals 40g’s of protein at each meal. (not hard to do really when you think about it)
After that just multiply your BW by 20. That worked well for me to start growing again and makin gains in size and strength. You can always add or take away but I think that’s a good starting point for you cause it’s clear you aren’t eating enough. I was the same way for a LONG time.
Do that for a few months and I’m sure you will gain 5lbs in 3 months.
Keep doing that for a year and you’ll be 20lbs heavier. 2 years = 40lbs heavier!
I doubt this will not work if you monitor your weight/cals everyday.
No juicy juice for you my friend.
Davinci.v2, I’m starting to like you and your oneliners! First this:

That’s good stuff!
On topic: Genetic limit? Not likely! Eat and train like you mean it for another seven years and then read this thread again. I think you’ll have a good laugh at your own expense.
buddy eat more meat! decent progress
You made some progress, there’s no doubting that.
If you’re already training hard and smart, the one thing hindering your progress is surely of a nutritional nature. I’ve once eaten as if my life depended on it - it really paid off. If you’re overly concerned with your abs, keep an honest food log and pay attention to your love handles.
A bulk doesn’t have to totally get out of hand, but neither should razor-sharp abs (or any abs at all) be your main concern when getting big.
Besides: the more muscle you’ll end up having, the easier the fat will come off.

Aint that the damn truth. It took me fifteen years to learn to eat. It took me years to work up to 15.5" arms on a light diet. Eating for real put me past 17" in a few months and still growing quickly. If I knew then what I know now, I probably would’ve snagged 20" arms before I turned 20.
