> it can be done. my lifting buddy put on almost 30 ponds in 7 months, drug free. if he has the desire, i can do it for him. if lee haney trains you and then you eat fast food, drink, and smoke up allday, your not going anywhere. but if someone says they want to put on muscle, and from his previous posts, he seems to be into working out, so im assuming he takes pretty good care of his body, and eats semi-healthy. working out is only 1/3, the other 2/3 are diet and cardio. most weight gaining programs cover everyone. low reps+heavy weight+food+ sleep=muscle growth. i have never seen that equation not work.

I am an ISSA certified trainer. I have also taken numerous nutritional courses to supplement the lack of knowledge the ISSA provided me in that field. I was personal training at the GREENTREE SPORTSPLEX for over a year before i decided it was no longer for me.

ok.

I never said that it could not be done or that this individual wouldnt achieve your goal of 15-25lbs of lean mass in 4 months.

I have a very hard time believing that someone drug-free put on 30lbs on lean muscle in 7 months. your partner may have gained 30lbs in overall mass but there is no doubt in my mind that fat is part of his gain.

a small fact you might enjoy is that even pro bodybuilders who are using steroids only can put on in the area of 25lbs of lean mass in a year. this is with proper training, strict nutriton, lots of rest and steroids.

i have much more i would like to type but i am tired tonight and have class at 8am. i will make sure to come back and finish my post.
