Breaking through a plato

I'm currently just over 11 stone (156lb) I'm 28 and 6ft 2. I started weight training and bulking in September 2014. I started out at 9stone 13. I'm pretty impressed with my gains as I'm pretty much pure muscle and think that's where the weights come from. I'm eating 3500 calories a day including protein shakes and get all the necessary nutrients my body needs but..... After taking so long to gain and be the heaviest I've ever been I'm stuck. I've tried upping my calories even more and having more protein and creatine but I'm frustrated as my gains have slowed right down. Any advice?

@chud_ hey man you need to work on increasing the weight you're lifting and also intensity, i had the same problem as you when i started lifting.. Try out different techniques, stick to a compound exercises routine and try out drop sets, cluster sets....
Always push yourself for an extra rep or add more weight even 1 kilo
