What are realistic gains?!!
This has probably a daft question but.... I'm 6ft (ish), 74.5kg, am trying to put on some serious muscle bulk and am on a whole body workout at the moment which I do 3/4 times per week.

I know everything takes time but I was wondering what mass gains would be realistic to achieve and what weight should I be aiming for?

thanks

Re: What are realistic gains?!!
welcome mate

naturally?

Muscle alone:

1st year of training 15-20lbs is exceptional, 10 is good and realistic
year 2 = 5-12lbs
beyond that 4-10 is good

The returns lower with time yet increase relatively when all bases are covered.

Anyone who gains 3 stine in a year has got fat regardless of what they tell you and how "they dont see anymore body fat"

Love the screen handle by the way.

I meen its eay to gain weight, its quality that you should be worried about. naturaly your looking at 5lbs lean body mass a year i recon for the first year or two then it gets much harder.

sure you could gain 100kg in a year but its going to be fat.

Re: What are realistic gains?!!
Without being obsessed, 10lbs is easily possible within the first year. Diet is the key.

Re: What are realistic gains?!!
Personally I'd say consistency is the key but with that as a given in a theoretical situation then its diet, rest and training HARD !

Re: What are realistic gains?!!
Ive been training 4 years naturally, id say lean muscle gains of around about 20 lbs a year minimum are easily obtainable, you will gain more when you realise your perfect diet and traing routine, this took me about 2 years of trial and error to sort out!

Re: What are realistic gains?!!
betwean 0-10lbs of lean mass is the range your looking at depending if everything is in place, maybe as high as 14lb of lean mass if you have the genetics of a pro and eat rest and train like one.

So youve gained 40lbs in 2 years naturally? Seens though you spent the first 2 trying with diet and training etc. So just under 3 stone in 2 years thats outstanding tell me your secret.
