Jealousy.... You flame away at the guy, and get all pissed off because you are hard gainers and couldn't put 20 lbs on in one f ucking year..

YES it is g od d amn possible.. if you follow a balanced diet, intake the proper amount of protein...work each muscle group to its full extent.. day in and day out.. yes.. it is f ucking possible to put on 20 lbs in 3 months... You gotta remember.. just because you can't do it.. doesn't mean that goes for everyone.. Everyone's body is different..
All it takes is a proper work ethic in the gym... remember.. its a 7 day week... so 500 extra "good" calories a day would equal around 3500 extra calories a week... Of course these have to be good calories.. the proper calories so your muscles can utilize it.. and not go to waste..

I'm with you .... Its possible.. and I believe you... so f uck all of these haters that dont think or know otherwise..


Thank you for your support, joseph.
Like I said, for those of you who don't believe me... o well.
I think it's pointless trying to make you believe in something that you can't see.
The people around me noticed the difference, the people at my gym noticed the difference. I feel good and that's all that matter to me.

For the beginners who consider using creatine, this supplement actually works, but you have to remember to drink lots of water (I drank a gallon or more a day) because what creatine does is they transfer water to your muscle (your muscle is 70% water). So if you don't drink enough water, you won't see any difference.

Thank you


actually it was mentioned before, but if you are in a growth spurt then it is possible, it is unlikely if you are above say 27.

i know i hit 2 growth spurts, at 16 i went from 5'4" to 5'11".

then at 26 i went from 140lbs to 210lbs within 6 months. i increased body fat but there was also a signficant increase in muscle as well.

now i've pretty much stablized.

point being, growth spurts are not the norm and are hard to predict. outside of these growth spurts tho, it is unlikely to gain that kind of mass
