@Dalaran1991, It's worth bearing in mind that your relationship with lifting/bulking changes as you get older.
I was a skinny runner when I started lifting. In my teens and twenties all I wanted was size and strength. I ate and lifted accordingly and got what I wanted. There's nothing wrong with this whatsoever. If I had my time again I'd do the same.
I'm in my 40's now and I'm more concerned with quality, performance, longevity and looking good. Hence, I'm a lot more cagey with putting on weight; it gets harder to shift as you age.
That said, you look like you can burn off calories for fun (your age and metabolism), so you might get away with eating a ton of food. I certainly did, when I was younger. The last time I tried it, not so much.
Honestly, try it for yourself. Now is the time to try stuff like this, you look like you'll have no problem rolling things back and resetting if things go awry.
If you are are struggling to eat more and can tolerate it, whole milk will do the trick. You don't have to go full-GOMAD, but it's easier to drink calories than eat them. Again, this worked for the younger Richard Turpin, the older one mostly stays away from the stuff.
EDIT: @Scorpion, that Deadlifting comparison between Brian Shaw and the lighter guy is absolutely incredible. For there to be only 50lbs difference in their lifts, despite their size differences...?! Mind-blowing.
