Remember 1-2 pounds of muscle is about as much as one can hope to gain in a months time.

Actually i believe it's 1-2 pounds a week that you can gain, not a month. However, it takes great dedication and strict dieting for that to happen.

No, It is completely impossible to gain 1-2 pounds a Week of muscle.

Anymore then 3 pounds in a month your probably adding extra fat. Just think if you add 2 pounds a month for a year, thats 24 pounds of lean muscle.

Go to T-nation.com and read the "Truth about Bulking" Article.

Hmm I know you can gain 2lbs+ a week in fat, but not 2lbs of muscle

Either way, at that weight a little extra fat wouldn't hurt anyway. I think 2 pounds of muscle a month is achievable

2 Pounds sound very little...that's like 1 kilogram (well 2.2 pounds is...)

The 300 got a whole heap of muscle in 2 months training, so I pose the question of how they managed that?

Anyway, what is a volume of 1 pound of muscle?

the 300 got cut up,so they looked like they gained a lot.
they also had
plenty of money for
best supps "all sorts"
best food
best dieticians
best personal trainers
best equipment.

No excuses, anything is possible.

now, thats just not true
Its better to be realistic about a bulk than go on an all out eating-spree getting fat.

Lol, I never suggested going on a big eating-spree, but believing and staying motivated is always good

Maybe if you're a real noobie, you could do 1 pound a week. Just one. And it wouldn't all be muscle. You CAN gain 1 pound a week of bodyweight. Take your time. Even if you only gain 1 pound of muscle a MONTH, that's TWELVE pounds of PURE MUSCLE in a year. Trust me, a year goes REAL FAST.
