Re: What is a realistic muscle gain in lbs?
The closer you get to your genetic potential the slower the gains will become also.

Re: What is a realistic muscle gain in lbs?
Thing is even 1lb a month is alot for lean gains.

next time your in the butcher check out a 13lb steak (blood and hydriation will account for around lb) now imagine that on you. consider the masive diffrence having that sorta mass on you would have to your look.

now assisted i would say yea you could do that but your have a whole lot of blubber and water to go with that.

were asuming that its joe average genetics. a uberachever could eclipse this but then how many of them do you know and to be fair to even be asking the question rules you out. You might spot one or two in a big gym but there rare.

Even check out a 5lb steak...

I think it took Dorian 7 years to go from 225lbs on stage to 250lbs on stage...

totally agree, go into the supermarket and see what 20lbs of chicken breast looks like and the amount of it, then imagine and dream of slapping that much on your body but pure muscle, only the chosen get those gains.

What an amazing idea - cover oneself in steak and chicken breast, apply a few coats of dream tan and voila!
30lbs of lean muscular gain without the associated health risks of steriods.

Re: What is a realistic muscle gain in lbs?
As said before there are so many variables to use in the equation.

But to answer the first post, I would assume a pound a month or about 11 pounds a year.

Here are some factors but not limited to.
For someone that is new will pack on more muscle than someone that has been at it for awhile.

Leaner guys on a bulk will gain more muscle in proportion than a guy that has more body fat.

Genetics, and even that has variables like, hormone levels, weather one is an ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph, blood sugar levels, types of muscle fiber percentages, etc.

Diet, how much, how often one eats, the different ratios of macro’s, and even this some people are sensitive to carbs and some are not, even this changes per person.

Age

Stress levels, jobs we have, amount of sleep, times we can train.

Re: What is a realistic muscle gain in lbs?
depends on diet supplementation ,rest , genetics dont play a big part as people would say as if u believe u can go no further than there is no point going anymore .

a good thing to try that worked for me and many pros such as gustavo, dennis ,hide and silvio is

the pre and during workout shakes

mine was
50g wms
10g BCAA
5g Glutamine
5g Creatine

Warmed up to activae the creatine with lucozade sport , it desnt taste nice but its effective gained me 10 ponds of pure muscle in 8 weeks NO STEROIDS

that was because before the contest he would diet off too much and then learned how to no so made bigger gains seeming like he had gained little in a long time like u pointed out , if not believed check back to his interview on pbw in 2005

Sorry to be the one to burst your bubble mate, but that is simple impossible.

With or without steriods, good genetics or not. Nobody builds 10 lbs of muscle tissue in 8 weeks.... period.
