Yep, weight gain is a simple equation. Eat more calories than you burn and you gain weight.
3200 caloris may not be enough.

Do you guy's feel that you started with weights that were to heavy?

"Deload. If you fail to get 5x5 with the same weight for 3 workouts in a row, deload for that exercise. Take 10% weight off for that lift only, and add 5lb (2,5lb on the Press/Bench) every workout again. Make sure you lift as fast as you can with the lighter weights and focus on technique."

So I guess if we fail two workouts in a row at a particular exercise we'll need to drop. We haven't failed yet at bench. We both got the 190 up 5x5.
We've struggled at OH Press at 125, and I'm starting to struggle with barbell rows at 135. Squats and deadlifts are still fine at 230 and 225 lbs each
