20 Pounds Of Lean Muscle In 1 Month?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but 20 pounds of sheer lean mass is just not realistic nor possible. If you are starting off you can probably pull off at-least 5 pounds of lean muscle mass per month. Well what happens when you are eating at a 700 caloric surplus. Your body can and will only use a specific amount of calories produce lean muscle tissue by repairing. Not all 700 calories are going to be used, which is why it is logical to say that you will gain some fat during your weight gain process.

Now a good rule of thumb to follow is to simply-gain 1 pound per week. This will ensure that you gain the least amount of fat and the most amount of lean mass. However note that gaining muscle/fat ratio is solely dependent on how much clean foods you eat. The more clean foods you eat the less fat you will gain.
