How much weight gain do you guis bulking shoot for a month?

depends on experience, cardio, frequency, intensity, legs and volume.

no experience with high frequency of all compounds and reasonable volume with cardio can shoot for 3-5lbs/month

bro split is like .5lbs max and if you bro split no legs, you're at 0.

once you hit big boy status, the first month of bulking is a lot from water retention and then you settle in to your goal

I'm intermediate on all my lifts

If you're natty you can't expect more than a 1lb of muscle. Everything else will be fat.

>r 3-5lbs/month

Congrats. You gained half a pound of muscle, 2 lbs of water and 2.5lbs of fat.

so aim for a pound a month?

If you want to lean bulk, yes.

The only true fucking post. In a year of bulking you shouldn’t gain more than 12-15 pounds, theirs literally no fucking reasons. Nattynlimit in papers is like fucking what 7lbs of actual muscle a year for serious lifters?

People use bulking as an excuse to eat more. When really they should just be adding an extra chicken breast, maybe a scoop of hummus, and maybe a couple spoons of yogurt and thats it

> In a year of bulking you shouldn’t gain more than 12-15 pounds,

Right, and it needs to be noted that that's only in your first year of lifting. After that you will get diminishing returns. Realistically something like 30lbs of muscle is a lifetime goal for natties if they do everything right and don't have bad genetics.

Based and achievable limit pilled. All these fuckers going crazy eating extra food is sad

Actually agree, slight caloric surplus is the way to go, gained about 5 kg since September with only a little gain in fat, bulking/cutting cycles are a bit silly

Bulking/cutting cycles work but only on steroids.

so you're saying a pound a month gain means you should never cut? Or that you should only cut when you get to 15 percent bf

Nigga if your fat cut, if your not then bulk it’s that simple

Would love to know if Pocock was natty

Wrong. First year is easy 10 kg, then another 10 lifetime.

Cut if you start getting fat. 1lb per month is a pretty rough estimate.

Yeah, an easy 10kg because half of it was water and fat.

No, 10 kg of muscle is normal for people training properly. The people saying 1 pound a month obviously have no contact with the scientific literature and simply extrapolate their garbage gains to the general population.

Funny you say that because literally every scientific paper on the matter says the opposite.

No, first year of training first time ever. I did actually gain substantial LBM, of what a lot was water but not much fat.

UHW/DEXXA put it at around a net 12kg gain of LBM.

After that it was another 6 years to gain 15kg and I never gained after that again. So I ended up being 80kg @ 10.4% bodyfat 5'10, with decent enough lifts ( B: 170kg, S: 240kg, D: 305kg).

Hopped on gear after 4 years later of spinning wheels and managed to gain another 12kg LBM, but few years later the rate of 'gains' is fucking pathetic on gear. I'd have to 'bulk' and eat an absolute shit ton, but I really don't want to. I BnC, now just on TRT since I can't recover fully. Extra mass wasn't really worth it, but beyond the point.

You gain an absolute shit ton in your first year of training, YMMV depending on how you train, eat, and genetics. I personally trained as a powerlifter, moved outwards into olympic lifting over time with bodybuilding work now and then. Mostly eat at maintenance, but have 'bulked', not that it ever really gave much. I just eat enough protein more than anything desu. Bulking causes me more problems than it solves like high blood pressure after a while and verging towards prediabetes (I have a strong hereditary factor for T2DM) as well as shit cardio to the point I can no longer run a mile even without gear or when natty. Ironically didn't find it gave strength boosts.

Strength was always mental. Size was just about eating enough and training right.

2 lb a month so 0.5 lb a week.

can I have this body without drugs?

If Australia plays the pooper they will not make it out of the pool state. Prove me wrong.

Why so

This mentality is why most natty "lifters" look like shit and stay weak.

I'm 6'4" and in 2009, I weighed 185 @ 15-20%bf

For my wedding day, I trained as though prepping for competition.

in April 2018, I weight 275lbs @

how do you go about writing this massive blog post and not post your body?

No balance in the back row. Neither is a lineout option, neither big enough to be a bruiser on defense, neither good at generating go forward. They just don't compliment each other's play style. That said, they have a soft pool. Georgia or Fiji could pull a Japan though.

Pocock is a bruiser generally what are u on about
