Post your strength level and how much you eat to gain weight!

Thought it would be interesting to see just how much some of us are packing back to have to gain weight. And what the results were. Specially the stronger someone gets, and it if correlates to really having to pound back the calories. We talk a lot about EAT, then EAT MORE when it comes to gaining muscle. Curious to see if people really do put their money where their mouth is. ;)

for my stats, I'm 6'2", started at about 200lbs. I ate 4-5k calories a day and gained 40lbs in about 7 months.

I started at middle Intermediate strength, (been training a few years, but only then decided to actually make an attempt at gaining) can't recall starting numbers though. I ended up at 285lbs bench, 375lbs squat and 445lbs deadlift 1rm numbers.

How about you guys and what you have to go through to pack on mass?
