That was the main issue that has held me back. As well was the fact that my first 2.5 years or so of training were a straight diet as I lost 90 pounds from being a heavy kid back in the day, so my newb gain time wasn't really much muscle mass and I spent a lot of my time with training for fat loss. I haven't spent near as much time working with gaining mass. 2 of my cycles have been recomps (successful for the most part) as well, so not all of it has been geared towards mass gain. That is why I want this cycle to be straight mass gain, and summer to be a "lean bulk" or recomp (depending on how lean I am able to get leading up to it).
