Gaining Mass
Can anyone a good hypertrophy program? I'm making gains in strength but not the mass I would like. I don't think it's my diet, I thinks it's my routine.

If you're making gains in strength then continue with what your are doing and some mass gains will follow. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that. It is normal for strength gains to precede any mass gains and for a while, even up to a couple of months it can seem like all strenght and no mass for certain people. But that would be unusual.
What ARE you doing, btw?

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

Right now my routine is:
M-chest/bi's
T-upper back/tri's
W-legs/lower back/shoulders
The same thing Thur, Fri, Sat and rest on Sunday.
Any suggestions?

I would suggest working each muscle group with a greater frequency.
Are you still on a vegan diet? I used to be a strict vegetarian (that might surprise some people) and I'll tell you the God's honest truth....it's really hard to gain a lot of mass on a vegetarian diet let alone a vegan one. It CAN be done, but it is MUCH, MUCH, harder.
I'm not telling you not to be a vegetarian, and just giving you the straight poop from what I've experienced.

I've been off my vegan diet for about a month now, sort of fell off that wagon. I'm O.K. with it. I've gained 12 pounds. I'm just wondering how much of it is quality muscle as opposed to fat.

Well I have a ramped up metabolism or something so I don't have a lot of experience with gaining fat. I just have your basic knowledge on that front but I would think it would be fairly obvious. The gut is going to be the biggest clue. And elsewhere...well, muscle is hard, fat is soft .
If you meant twelve pounds in a month that's a lot. Some of it's probably going to be fat. Twelve pounds of muscle you really should be able to see. Think about a couple pounds of ground beef. Imagine distributing that over your body. Now imagine doing that 6 times....

IMO lifting six days on one day off, in the midst of coming off a vegan diet is prob hell on your body. Your doing a lot of things your body isnt used to right now, give it time. And if your worried about fat gain, monitor your total marco intake, and get your bodyfat checked.
As long as your keeping tabs on shit it wont get out of hand. Just remember your gonna end up putting on a little fat if your eating enough cals to put on significant mass. It really isnt a big deal.

I'm not sure if you have posted it somewhere, but what is your diet like? I think if your making strengh gains, but not mass it would be your diet. Also don't rush, if a person were to put on 10lbs of muscle in 1 yr that would be great.
