How much muscle can I gain???????

matt_rugby · Apr 12, 2006

Hi, i was just wondering if anyone knew roughly how much weight i can gain in muscle over the summer. i started working out at the beginning of april, and weighed about 150Lbs then (im 5,10). I want to bulk up before the start of next seasons rugby starts (september). does anyone have any rough ideas on how much i can gain, thanks.

If you ate enough and lifted hard you could possibly gain 20-25 pounds...8-12 pounds of that will prob be lean muscle.

Sounds like a reasonable guess, their's no telling unless you just do it. You could be a genetic freak and gain 20lbs of lean mass, so get your ass out there and lift!
