Am I going too fast with the bulking? I'm 30, 5'8"

You look the exact same % wise but stronger. I'd say keep building muscle, tone back the carbs a little, but decent work

nice progress man, keep going

(Btw, the pic seems to suggest I'm fairly much bigger on the right, but I see now that it's also more zoomed in. So it's a bit deceiving).

Thank you! Really glad too that I can still have noob gains at my age.

Be aware that in the beginning of your bulk you will add on a lot of water weight. You also may appear more bloated. What are you eating? How many calories?

Yes, you're going too fast. 1 kg per week is too much if you're starting at skinnyfat. 0.5 kg per week max. Otherwise you will end up fat and lose much of the muscle during the cut. Slow bulking is always a good thing. You're already too fat though.

My diet is as varied and healthy as it can be, but carb heavy.

Very low on sugars.

2x shake consisting of whole milk + 50grams brotein.

Oh, and I have no idea about the calories. I'll try to keep track from now on and be smarter about it.

As I've said, I've always had problems gaining weight, so I figured going all-out was sufficient.

It's a good start, but gaining almost pure muscle a bit slower is much better than gaining muscle and fat 50/50. At 1 kg per week you eat 1000kcal excess daily. Should limit to 300 to 500.

Yeah, I'm also realizing just now that it isn't viable in the long term, of course. A kg a week, holy shit.

counting calories and +500 it is.

Id say your progress looks decent, whats your calorie surplus? Maybe tone it down a bit

disregard this, I suck cocks

gaining anything more than a pound a week is retarded, anything above that and literally all the excess calories are going to fat.

even then past novice it should be 0.5lb/week
