Any bodybuilding contests on the horizon in the next year or two? Going to a relatively-fast bulk and gaining so much more bodyfat now will make it that much harder, if that’s a factor.
Shooting to gain 20 pounds in 8 weeks? I see nothing good coming from that, especially starting in your current condition.
At that size, you might end up with boobs. So expect the confusion to continue.
