Diet is crazy clean and healthy and full of good calories and very high nutrient levels. I have been playing with carb/fat ratio, somewhere about 40/40 now, always keep protein around 20%. I have been a high carb guy most of my life, but have been switching to more % fat over the last couple years. I have relatively more consistent energy with more fat.

Yes of course caloric surplus to grow, yes...

I have always been a lean hard gainer, and I'm not after bulk, just want normal muscular physiology back... the ability to train to a reasonable level and recover well. While my VO2max is excellent, muscle physiology is impaired ever since I was put on statins. Been off of them for almost three years, but they f^&*cked me over. I suspect the lipitor killed a heap of mitochondria, and who knows what else happened to the muscle cells themselves? (Not to mention the havoc on my cholesterol based hormone production)
