How much do you guys think I can gain of Muscle/Water/Glycogen in one year minus ph/ps/steroids (which i might take lol), but still including test boosters/all other suplements... I know im not advanced, hell most of you guys are bigger than me :) but I know im definitley not going to be gaining as much as the past two years. Im pretty sure I wont be able to gain 10lb of muscle even if i really tried. i was thinking 5-7 lb MAX. but maybe more with good test boosters.

I usually gain 2-2.5 lb a month.. I dunno if its muscle though.. i guess trial and error would be the best route.. would it be more beneficial to gain 1.5-2 instead of 2-2.5 so i will have less of a cut to do.. because its pretty unlikely ill be gaining 2.5 lb muscle a month

Try to gain 1-1.5lbs per week. Its a good goal, if your diet is in-tact it shouldn't be a problem. 48 weeks in a year, somewhere around 50-55lbs in a year is solid but who wants that much?

It obviously won't be all muscle. I cant remember the exact amount but I think a person can only put on 5-7pds of muscle naturally a year? correct me if I'm wrong.

Thats crap. It all depends on how long you've been lifting (newbie gains come quickly), your diet, supplementation and most importantly, GENETICS. There is no set number as to the amount of muscle a person can gain in a year.

Remember too the bigger you get the more you have to eat and the harder it gets to gain.Someone at 150 can get to 200 hundred alot easier than someone at 250 that is already pretty big trying to get to 300.

The trainer at the gym took my stats and got me my maintenance cal's today, I think it was at like 2800 or something combined with my activity level of about 6-7 days a week. I'm trying to get my diet 100% perfect. Right now its almost there. Gonna go for 700cals per meal at about 6 meals a day. He told me to keep my macro ratios at 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fats? Does that seem right?

4200 kcals is way too much. Start at 3200 and reassess after 8 weeks or so.

I gained 10lbs in 6 week while bulking up natural. I ate 4,000 kcals, lifted heavy, and gave my body lots of rest. Some fat? of course, But I am more vascular in my arms, chest, and have developed traps.

However, I consider it to be newbie gains, becuase it was the first time I actually ate over matinence and lifted correctly.

A good rate to gain muscle at is about a pound a week so if you are gaining at that rate as long as you keep your diet clean it should be pretty much all muscle. When i first started working out i gained about 20 pounds in about 2months and it was all pretty much muscle. So get those easy gains while you can. EAT LIFT SLEEP REPEAT!!!!:food::dl::yawn: =:bb:

heck no.

my alias does not reflect my intentions. It is a nickname, nothing more. In fact, people don't call me roidrage anymore.


Juicing wouldn't do that much anyway.

im deff. not gonna roid up until..ever. It's not natural and even if you take them correctly, there are still risks. Its just not worth it.

My secret test boosting recipe..4 TBSP EVOO with 16oz 2% milk..danm
