Bullshit straight from the source.Kippaxstreetheadache said:I read the conclusions of a study that the human body is capable of supporting no more than 2 pounds of lean muscle gains a month, half a pound a week - withou.
This was in a controlled study with prime athletes however, most people would struggle to get close to that even.
People exaggerate their gains all the time, if you go on bulking programmes most of your gains will be fat and water retention, especially if you're using creatine. But anyone who's smashing on genuine lean muscle mass, disregarding water retention etc, is on roids.
Anyone got any tips for upping caloric intake in a reasonably priced way? I've been recommended peanut butter, but the fat content seems a little steep for it?
I have between 80g to 100g of porridge oats each morning about 6am. Sees me through until at least 10ish. Big bag from Aldi is very cheap. Very cheap in Asda as well though. Big spoon of honey and/or ground Cinammon mixed in as well...lavverly jabbly
