How Much Muscle Can You Gain in a Month (the TRUTH)
Video taken from the channel: How to Beast
“At best, you’re looking at about a pound or two of muscle gained per month.” Yes. That means those strutting Samsons have been pumping iron for a lot of months—at minimum.“With all of those things considered, the average man can gain about one to two pounds of muscle per month and the average woman up to one pound per month,” Jacobchick told us.Alan Aragon, my coauthor on The Lean Muscle Diet, estimates that an entry-level lifter can gain 2 to 3 pounds of muscle mass in a month without adding much fat. An intermediate can gain 1 to 2.
On using HGH-X2 & Testo-Max plus following these tips, the estimated gains could reach about 1-1.5 kilograms of muscles per month for males and approximately the half-mass is achieved with females.In just 10 weeks, or around two to three months, it’s possible to see a 3-pound increase in lean muscle weight after routine training, according to a study published in ACSM’s Health & Fitness Journal in August 2015.Keep in mind that it’s physiologically impossible to gain more than one pound of lean muscle per week. For most weight-gainers, half a pound per week would be an even more realistic goal, because they reach their genetic limit. Remember that gaining muscle is a long-term project and not something that can be simply turned on.
There is no one single workout or food you need to do/eat. As a guy you can expect to gain up to 9kg of muscle (20 pounds) in your first 6 months, assuming a solid workout routine and proper nutrition. After your beginner gains are used up, you can gain about 5–6 kg (12–14 pounds) of muscle in 6.
If you’re not achieving this, then increase your calories by 250 per day; if you’re over, reduce them by 250 per day. Keep an eye on your body-fat levels too. While muscle gain may be your priority, you shouldn’t put on too much excess fat as this can be extremely difficult to cut later on.Like athletes, you can take about three weeks off without seeing a noticeable drop in your muscle strength, according to a 2012 study.
You shouldn’t take off longer than that if you can avoid it.By doing the math, you can figure out that two pounds of muscle per month must mean you can pack on at least a good six pounds in 90 days, right? Well, while that’s not an impossible goal, Kuhn likes to be more conservative. “Three to six pounds max is reasonable, but by this time you may begin to see muscle-building slow down,” he says.

On the other hand, you may drop a.
As mentioned already, a good number to shoot for is 2 pounds (of muscle) per month. As you increase your diet and up the volume of lifts just keep an eye on the scale and the mirror. Monitor your fat levels and add/decrease calories and food consumption as needed. Although 2 pounds doesn’t sound like a whole lot it really is.
The short answer is “it depends.” If you’re a beginner 1.5 to 2.5 pounds of lean muscle mass is the maximum amount of muscle you can build each month without steroids. As you make progress, your gains slow down to one pound per month and slow to a trickle as you get advanced; gaining as little as.2 to.5 pounds a month, max.Don’t mistake muscle for lean body mass (lbm). It is generally assumed that a new lifter with a good routine and a good diet can gain approximately 26lbs of muscle in their first year. Imgur.
However, that doesn’t mean you can’t gain 40 pounds of fat free mass.

What do you think of lost lots of weight using Custokebon Secrets? I notice lots of people keep on speaking about Custokebon Secrets.
Great vid, brah. So many dudes now are thinking these huge steroid guy’s are normal. They ain’t. Dependence on drugs for anything is no way to live.
I already weigh more than my perceived weight. Only been training for a few months. I think people can get much bigger naturally
I had heart sergery with 15 and weighed 62kg at the time, after 6 months I weighed 48kg, height was 177 cm. Then i started training and after 5 months I weighed 76kg and had gained at least 30 pounds of muscle, all natural, still 177cm.
How will puberty impact this? Obviously you will be naturally growing and test levels will be very high. On average how much more muscle will u gain?
Just to let everyone know this whole video is bull shit, you can gain max of 6 lbs per year and it goes down, unless your genetics are super good maybe 7 to 8
66kg -> 104kg in 3 years natural gained a decent amount of muscle but lots of fat and bone density etc
30 pound of muscle in a month,not even in dreams not even with steroids.
Great video so far, still watching. I have a gym competition coming up in March. I’m 5’5” 145lbs, relatively slim but always been slightly broad around the chest and thighs. I’m excited because I’m thinking I have the potential to gain muscle quite nicely. Just wanting to maximize it to the best of my ability over the course of 90 days.
I can gain alooot. Its crazy. When i started training in first week i gained 2kg. 2weeks 4kg. And btw i stoped for a while and i dont drop in weight. Its pure muscle boiiz.
I’m 8ft 9 inches tall and weigh 6 pounds, hoping to add 2 watermelons worth of weight to my body by the next lunar eclipse
I’m 6’1 and gained about 10kg the last year. (22lbs) (my first year of training) no more fat. Are you saying my genetics are absolutely freakish?
i am 183 cm but the calculator said I can gain to 280 pound of muscle + weight. max. is that true? ( I am endomorph)
What method do you suggest for even knowing how many lb of muscle you gained?
But how big is his arms because to be fair on the formula his arms don’t look any bigger than 16”?
Its actually very simple. If it claims something too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.
beginner gains maybe 4 pounds if you do everything perfectly still pushing it a bit
What makes it hard to believe Greg are those celebs that actually put on 30 lbs in a year through transformation.
I love your videos dude. The charisma makes these videos addicting. keep it up!
I know i got that detail from athlean x but im watching it anyway
im 20yo, my weight is 62kgs 172CM i need to bulk? i mean for sure im endomorph because i was obese my all life i mean since i have memorie, so for sure its easy gain fat again, it sucks, lean bulk will be ok for me?
From the same guy who posted a video for gaining 20lbs of lean muscle in 1 month. Ranting about industries making false claims like his title. There are a lot of people who have gained 30+ pounds in one month, some of which are lean. A large knowledge base and dedication can go a long way.
Why do you talk as though you’re a huge black guy? Dude you’re tiny
I gained 4kgs in 14 days with proper diet,supplement and rest
Thank you very much bro this video was very useful and this video enraged me a lot thanks again
Wait wait, you were the 2nd tallest in your class!? Come on greg you can’t sneak that one by me
Me: Increase size of wrist
Jeff: Takes a skeleton…
Me:Ah shit here we go again.
Why does it even care that society judges you I don’t get it
I am 100% sure my friend is on some pd cause he gained 30lbs in 3 months and claims 20 of it was muscle.
Do you see that serious lateral tilt in your shoulders? This is what happens when you use a computer all day. You need to work on that or you’ll end up like me with wrecked shoulders. Strengthen the serratus anterior and lower trap muscles to keep your shoulders safe.
Your estimated maximum muscular bodyweight at 18% bodyfat is: 218.2 lbs
98 kg, is that much? or not?
Guess I got lucky because in 1 year and 8 put 30 pounds. My body fat went up by 2 percent max, was 11 percent. Ppl thought I was training for years and juicing. I told them i just train for fun and I got crazy bicep and shoulders
jord_liddell check that guy on instagram…one time hes skinny as fk…after 3 months..hes like full beast mod..he work maybe 3 times per day dont know:/ dont want to answer me..
Coach Greg how would one know when you actually reach your genetic limit? Are there certain signs like no more strength? Obviously not growing but I feel like there has to be more signs.
The last formula for genetic makeup seems very incorrect. I already weight about 145 with 5-10 percent body fat. It said that I can only get 148. I’m sure I can add a lot more than that.
Casual Franco reference just killed me. Damn worst weekend I’ve had in a while finding out about that
Want to get discouraged before you even start gaining muscle? Here’s how!
I (54kg skinny fat boy) start lifting from 2016 1stDec and upto 2019 Dec and I take off 4 months in between due to an injury. I weight 65 kg lean,neither shredded nor not skinny fat. I think I gain about 17 to 20lbs of pure muscles.
True, water weight is tricky. One day I’ll weigh 155 and the next I’ll weigh 165 then the day after that back to 155
The day’s I train at the Gym.
Monday chest & triceps
Tuesday back & biceps
Thursday core & Shoulders
Friday Legs
Is this a good gym routin? I’m 17 and 6ft.
How long does it take for 9 yr old boys to get big muscles
at 5’7 It estimates me to be 196 at 10% lol. im 140 now. i dont see it lmao
Lol look up dwayne Johnson at 15…guy has a pretty big frame which is part of the reason hes such a big guy
These numbers, are they based on a traditional bulk/cut cycle over a full year? A lean bulk over a full year or a 12 month bulking period?
I’m my first 6 months I gained 15 pounds with a terrible diet and a weak training program. People are going crazy saying I have some of the best genetics in history and I should be a body builder. Am I gifted?
can you add books about those guys you mention in your video description?
DUHHHHHHHHHH YOU REACH GENETIC CEILING! LOL OOH 8 TO 10 POUNDS LOL.. SICK
THUMBS UP!!!
then watch, even if the video isn’t applicable (because as a female i’m interested NOT in weight loss, NOT necessarily in muscle gain, BUT HEALTH AND STRENGTH ( AND YUMMY LOOKING ABS!!!!)
and Jeff, YOU LOOK BETTER THAN THE ROCK!!! TRUST AND BELIEVE!!! (THIN-tall-fit men are the absolute yummiest!!!! thin-not so tall-fit men are yummy too, yummier than thick guys.)
Your hand geistures are so funny bro! haha love your videos!! you deserve more fame!
Bro, these videos are excellent, keep up the grind! If you want to follow on ig I’ll follow back @bryangarczia
I know this is an older video now but i respect you for actually calling out bullshit.

I can’t believe your wrists are 6.25″.. I have the smallest wrists on the planet and mine are 7″.. how do they not snap? The advantage I was always given is that the smaller the wrists the bigger your biceps appear.
4:12 yo wtf, 383g of protein!?!? For 133 lbs, as a hardgainer, you’d only need.72g of protein/lbs. So roughly 96g of protein daily.
Another great segment debunking the myths about what we all assume about our muscle gains. My eyes widened in amazement when Greg instructed to double the number of pounds we realistically need to lose in order to look great… and then double the body fat percentage.
Lolol greg if I have friends having gay thoughts about me we probably won’t be friends very much longer… lol your funny man, love your videos
10 pounds of muscle in 30 days? Sure, Lol. This is the learn C++ in 10 days of bodybuilding.
Yeah, i gain 6kg of muscle in the first year. Must be good genetics. Thank you Doc
Yeah that calculation is way off. I’m 65 inches tall, and apparently I have to weigh 143 to be at 5% body fat? No no no no no. I’m 130 now and I have 25% body fat. Waaayy off.
How long have you been lifting for because I’ve been working out for 6 months and I look more muscular
My wrist is 17.5 because my wingspan is 6 foot 4 but shorter with my legs 180cm height. I will have huge arms and even though I have small arms all my life. Now I have huge triceps and biceps 35.2cm getting bigger for 2 months exercise. Ripped mass 6 percent 176 pounds.
Love from India.. You are really very motivating. Thanks for showing the right attitude to us.. I have a 6.25 inch wrist too and was always conscious and felt vulnerable but now I have confidence. Thanks for being so transparent. Hats off..
Im a big fan of yours Greg but I have to disagree. I started vigorous training in July ’19 and gained 9kgs of lean muscle (almost 20 lbs) within a year. I was 31 when I started and don’t have “great” genetics (5’9 in height). It’s taken 6 days of weight training per week…4 of which also included cardio. And before you jump to conclusions…yes I am completely natural. No sarms, peds, test, gh, roids or any of that rubbish. And no, I barely increased body fat percentage in the progress…IT CAN BE DONE!!!
So some one with 20 inch arms has a 10 inch wrist? The formula is stupid. Thank you athleanX for clearing this up.
I gained 50lbs 215 to 265 not all muscle in high school. No height increase 5’11. Waist went from 32 to 36 but contest touch and go raw bench went from 335 to 500. This is natural. Started anabolics many years later with prohormones, and at 42 started traditional gear. 540lbs at age 23 raw natural is best ever. Prohormones nor gear has increased my bench and my shoulders no longer allow me to bench period at age 48.
i was 83 kgs and i trained for 7 months and i became 94-95 i dont really know some people will say its steroids im eating my calories for 94 kgs also with my new bf and i gained no fat
I am 15 and I don’t know if i should calculate this and I don’t know if I should it will give results that will rest if someone can help.
ever since i ate a lot of healthy calories rather than dirty bulking i noticed much more improvement
So why isnt jeff 200lbs at his height.? Is he trying to discredit gravity and say believe you can fly just jump .
Use just your ring finger and pinky for certain exercises and you’ll see your forearms get bigger
Well already know the 6% ripped is wrong cause im 5 foot 3 which by that standard means i should be at 6% at 148lbs im 139lbs and at 12.2%bf
This is like saying that small hands mean you have a small dick. Like no.. oh you have long arms your toes must be sooo large? No.
I just clicked on this and went straight to the comments before the vid even started lol…
Man, my wrist size is 5.7″:( I guess I can never get big.
metric shit, only america,Liberia (african american colony ) and one other use that.
I love the concept of the video, but the answers I get from the links feel off. One bodyfat page you’ve mentioned on one of your vids puts me at 28% bodyfat. I’m a female, 5.3 feet, about 125-130 lbs, heavy weight training, waist about 28 inch. At 28% I would be nearly obese and I don’t even have a pouch or love handles.
Doesn’t it depends on your age to? Like if im 16 with 6.5 inch I can grow more you are talking about if you like 20+ because you probably won’t grow after that
Gained 7kg first month of training and 8kg after. Now 5months later its about 5kg a month, no visible fat yet
Bro if u natural and u have extremely good genetics and only if extremely good genetics, you will gain 8-12 lbs of muscle per yr PER YR I REPEAT PER YR so u might wanna fix that title of urs
Lol my wrists are really small I dont ever wear watches because everything is too big. I have baby wrists
Apparently my potential is 250 pounds that is not true at all
Hello my weigth is 62 kg I want to start in gym and build some muscles but my wrist is skinny then i think my structure after gum would be ugly any advices??
Are guys actually insecure about their wrists???? Also don’t ask how I got here
Lol scientists say you can’t gain more than 2 lbs of muscle in a month Soo just shut up and clickbaiting
Funny clever vid. very helpful, actually. Though you were taking waaaaay too much protein! You only need as many gs of protein as you weigh in kgs (75kgs= 75g of protein, roughly 3 tins of tuna or 3 scoops of 25g protein shake) your body just wastes the excess. Def right about eating what you want. As long as it’s healthy, go for it! cheers
The most important factor is your level of testosterone, your body’s natural steroid. It’s no good having a large frame if you’ve got low T.
Bro he’ll no I’m not that gifted I put on a good 15 I went from 140 to 160 in 1 month, I was stacked before but now it’s just crazy after I came down from baseline I’m natty af I take creatine and protein and ryse pre and just do slow controlled low weight and high volume half reps w tension, heavy ounce in a while. I cut carbs and water intake today and dried out to about 155 so I’d say a good 15 lbs of muscle, most likely 13 excluding water and shi. This is in one month though dog idk what’s happening. But I know there’s a whole lot of people that are more stacked than me. Im 5’9” 157.25 as of now so I’m not huge I’m just pretty lean and muscular at this weight and it happened in like a month, defiantly weekly changes and complements from my friends like a week and a half in, muscle has memory I guess
I was so depressed about my tiny little wrist but watching this video gave me some motivation
I wasn’t in a gym for two months, I’m basically reset to beginner
i’m actually 29 trained for many years of my life and the arms and weight were pretty accurate for my wrist and height wtf so i’m 190lbs 10% bodyfat but i can get to 194lbs at 6% and have been closer to that before in the past when i gave a shit about being bigger. now i focus more on my boxing and combined athletic strength which has made my life better. i think training to be as big ass you can actually has a big flaw nobody talks about and that is constant fatigue and pain as your at your near maximum tipping point of overtraining.
When I was 13 I put on 100 pounds of muscle and fat in 2 years I weigh 195 ish and I’m 13% body fat so I’m mostly muscle
Great information! So, what would a bikini competitor vs. a figure competitor typically be on this scale? Thanks!
0:51 ‘…and they give you fake people with fake results’ and tiny dicks
actualy, the main question about possible muscle’s mass is bone density. Bone density changes in time and whole bone rebuilds in near 4 years. It has “checkpoints” every 5-6 mounths on this way, what depends from lifetime of BMU. So, every moment your bones can’t hold more than some determined muscle mass. And this number can be changed not faster than 1 time in half year. From another side bone density does’t change if you do nothing last half year on some particular group of muscles. So, for bigger muscles someone needs to train for every muscle group every few mounths, what gives some principal progression in next 4 years. Not faster, but, also, not longer.
Glad my genetics aren’t shit, 5 pounds at year four is actually impressive not terrible. I was clearly wrong about my genetics, so thanks for this.
Sir give some videos for wrist Exercise to increase the size of wrist…..
I gained around 22lb when I first started lifting at 17, went from 70kg to 80kg and 5,11 to 6,2
This vid planted the seeds for yelling coach Greg. “I’m not a doctor C’mon”…moronic idiot emails. Definitely planted the seeds for what we get today
8in” wrists here but my arms are the side of an Aquafina water bottle
Are HRT doses considered enhanced? How much more gains could you expect compared to just staying natty?
So my wrist is 7”, and my biceps are at 15”, and I have that 2-finger thing too.. thanks for ruining my bodybuilding goals Jeff!
I gained 4.5 lbs in a month as of today and I lost 5 lbs of fat. I couldn’t believe it. I’m 5.6 and at 176. I just eat healthy and take vitamins and I do drink beer daily.
If I am 53kg how much does it take to achieve at least 60kg?
looking this guy’s arms makes me think that he does not deserve to make this video
Has anyone used the Custokebon Secrets to lost a lot of fat? Simply just do a search engine search. On there you will find a great tips about how you can lost lots of weight. Why don’t you give it a chance? perhaps it is going to work for you too.
I came here because apparently chris Hemsworth….and I quote “gained 20-25 lbs of muscle for the role of Thor in 6 months”
You can be huge everywhere with small wrists except your forearms will be only average at best.I have never seen big forearms on small wrists not on YouTube or real life literally never.With all his science Jeff still has barely average forearms no one is able to solve that problem so far.
In 8 months I went from 95 lbs to 110 lbs and I’m still skinny as hell im 13 so I’m thinking I probably put on like six pounds of muscle
Wow that’s true lol, my first year I really gained around 40 pounds, I was 56kg and got 75kg (also got some bf of course, still under 15% for sure).. Then I continued 2 more years and went up to 81kg..my bf was around 13%,after that I stopped for 2 years and lost tons of muscle.. And since 1 month and half started back workout.. Hope to get back in shape in less than 2 years.. (of course I was only 18 years old when I started so that’s why I grown so much first year I guess), peoples at gym were asking me if I was taking steroids or stuffs like that, so I realized I was pretty lucky on genetics, untill I Saw my brother.. I believe he is like those of 1 in a million peoples, super shredded from its own.. Already quite big on muscles before even starting gym and once he started if I didn’t know him I would bet he was using steroids, thanks to him I really can’t tell anymore if all those peoples on YouTube are actually natural as they claim or not..
Your vids are amazing Greg. I’m addicted. I was scrolling and saw this and was like…”USEFUL INFO”
I’m 5’2” and I’m usually about 135-140 on scale but I’m 20% bodyfat with visible abs. I agree the scale is misleading. I have been as small as 125, but I was too thin and my lifts were ass. I feel good at 140ish and I perform better in the gym and with Yoga
Watching this as a walk down to the super market to get more syrup for my French toast lol it’s sooooo good
This is the truth. My first serious bulk was about a year long and I sincerely tried to do everything right as best as I could (intense workouts, calorie surplus, protein intake, good sleep). I went from 58kg all the way to 72kg BUT most of it ended up being fat. When I leaned down again I only ended up being around 62kg (9 lb lean gains total). My second bulk, I went all the way to 72kg again (took me 1 year again but did a slower, leaner bulk this time and didn’t end up as fat at 72 as I did the first time), and am again leaning down now (69kg atm), this time I think I’ll be around 65kg in the end (6.6 lb lean gain total). I get so confused every time I hear people say they gain 20 lb in their first year, I used to think I had piss poor genetics! But this video completely falls in line with my experience.
I put on a little less than 9 kilos / 20 pounds in about a year but am at the age of 16 and 172cm / 5′ 7,7″ tall with alot of hard work… now I am watching the Youtube I trust most about bodybuilding and sports in general and he telling me it isn’t possible to gain that much… what the fuck am I even supposed to say
Edit: Nevermind
This is very accurate for me. I’ve been working out for 6 months and so far I’ve been averaging +3.25 lbs/month of body weight, and of that number, 2 lbs/month is muscle, and 1.25 lbs/month is fat and other stuff.
My 5’6 friend who’s natty has been bulking for a month straight and says he gained 5-9lbs of solid muscle in that month.
Is this possible? Or is he bullshitting?
I’m allergic to eggs, peanuts, and all other kinds of nuts. What should I use to supplement these in my diet??
I used to Weight. 286 and I love over 150 I did my diet run workout then I had that lose stomach skin and I cut down to 175 I was not eating much and doing so much cardio hit and just lost so much muscle then I Fainted so I decided to put more pounds on but I put on some muscle now I still have that stubborn belly fat as you go in the water I do boxing cardio hits I have upper abs not a sixpack my stomach is torn but I just had a little stomach
We reach our genetic potential on muscle fast sure however you will never ever reach your strength potential you can have enough muscle to bench press 405 but only bench 275 because your nervous system isnt trained correctly
After watching this video I will definitely use steroids for sur
Idk whats wrong with me, but Ive been training for 5 months and ive gained 9kg since then. I eat 3.4k calories a day but I still have a full 6 pack and obliques.
btw, I grew 0.5 cm
Lord Jesus the anointed says “He that exalts himself shall be humiliated and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.”
Ive been watching many of your videos and they are amazing love the content. But I’ve noticed something distracting and it constantly happens making it annoying the girl in the background. She is popping in and out back to back which makes it distracting/ annoying. Just my two cents.
Can we stop with this genetics crap? Its not just genetics, at all like greg what is it with you and this “gentics” crap like is it an ego thing? Where do you get this bull crap from? Like genetics isnt the end all be all greg.
Rich Piana believed it was possible for him to get where he was naturally without steroids. Who are we to say otherwise? It still wouldn’t have stopped him from trying. The most successful people who accomplished great things that we take for granted today had negative people telling them it’s impossible just because it hadn’t been done before. I never want to be one of those negative people.
Idk how you can have protein shakes before and during your workout. If I do that I feel like I’m gonna throw up
Spot on mate. I have 5″ wrists and I am 6ft4!! This is probably the smallest a wrist could ever get for a guy my size, it is unbelievably tiny. However, my bones are super long, which matters a lot more than the width of bones. If you have wide and long bones you’ll look like the hulk (lou ferigno) if you have less width and long bones you’ll look like a God (Arnold Schwarzenegger).
So when you look at competitors like Eddie Hall, Thor Bjornsson and more like that, are the gains they are putting on natural and just due to amazing geneatics?
Lifting for two years only to look like “maybe he works out” is kinda depressing
If a tall 6’2 6’3 guy was skinny at say 150 pound he could put on 40-45 pounds of muscle in first 2 years especially if he had a bad diet barley aight.. Obviously when your 5’2 you don’t have enough body to gain 45 pounds, you just don’t, you can’t be 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide you can’t nobody would want to anyways you would look like a cow. Why do you think tall guys say brian can get to be 300+ pounds solid doesn’t look bad or abnormal? You will never see a 5 foot tall guy gain 45 pounds there’s simply not enough body to do it. You are as wide as you would ever want to get, simply not enough body to put on weight like that. sorry gregory
Is this just for gym? Becuase I heard with calisthenics you can gain muscle much quicker
I had to turn the video off the second that fuckin stupid virgin music came on.
I guess I have good genetics I’m not quite one year in but I’ve reached the 8lbs mark
I started training when I was 16 I was 115 pounds and I’ve been about the same height as I am now, currently I’m 163 and shredded
You can’t gain 10 pounds of muscle in a month you can gain about 2 pounds per month
I expect to gain 6 lbs my first year, assuming I maintain my training and nutrition. My genetics aren’t outstanding, but I also don’t think they’re bottom tier. We’ll just have to see.
To be honest i feel the strongest and healthiest at around 15% but i like it visually the most at around 10-12% after that i just feel kinda flat. People in Bodybuilding define themself to much over bodyfat %, i stopped caring about it and i just go by weight and looks now, works much better for most people ive met so far.
Hi there! Have you heard of creatine supplement. Go for this if you want an athlete body. This supplement brings the most out of your work out.Get yours http://www.lnk123.com/SH10ar now. Love your video.
I’m a woman and once I’ve gain 0.5 k muscle in one month with being fasting daily and lost 1 k fat.. it was amazing feeling ❤️❤️❤️.
From age 16-17 I put on about 14lbs of lean mass and about 6lbs of fat according to dexa scans, I have grown, but only 1”. I can’t imagine that 1” of bone growth weighed very much. What are your thoughts Greg and other people of YouTube?
This isn’t true, I put on 13lb of muscle in my first 5 months of training
Hey bro nice video, can you make video on have to cut belly and overal fat. Keep uploading!
I have two friends who are about the same height and weight. Both are roughly 5’9″ and 160 pounds. Both have similar strength levels. Both follow a similar diet. And both follow a similar workout routine. But when you look at them, they look completely different. Why is this? I have come to this conclusion:
1. They have different bone structure.
2. They have different waist and shoulder sizes.
3. They have different muscle belly fullnesses.
If we as a fitness community can focus on this more, I think people will be a lot more satisfied with their results from exercise.
If your short you actually can look as big as the rock bc the arms are shorter and legs too. Easier for short guys to look big
Is coach Greg using the cocaina or not? Zeeero chance just got the sniffles.
You see your video didn’t help but I watched the fitness ad and it worked lol
@ 4:40 he looks like a T-Rex with his right arm in the air:P
In two an half year having 3000 kcal a day sometimes more sometimes less iv gained about 15 pound plus hard to say exact my genetics are not that good but I can see a difference but not like th app makes out you can’t get that size and definition in one or two year and like gregg says some is fat I look better for it but no way near them app pics 20 inch biceps in 2 year lmao only with gear will do that. Just be patient and train hard 3/4 days a week good look all. Love the vids greg keep it up
If you’re naturally skinny those numbers are perfectly reasonable… I was 125-135 lbs 5’10”. I put on 30lbs in 6 months maintaining 12-15% bodyfat with just army Chow hall food and protein shakes. I was 27 years old. I then did it again 2 years later after getting sick taking a long break and losing it all. I’m sure some of that was water weight but I went from squatting 135 to 315.
Im very skinny and short for a 15 year old. I am 5.2 ft and 92 lbs. I started to do workouts at home 10 days ago. In these 10 days I gained 3.3 lbs already. That’s because I started to eat a lot aswell. But my question is when is the best time to weigh yourself?
i want to bulk because i need to gain two pounds every week for 22 weeks. please help coach, how to do it, natural plz.
thankx
Coach Greg does sub optimal training count towards your genetic limit? I was training from 13-15 without a gym and I didn’t do nearly enough volume in callisthenics to build much muscle and my form was pretty sloppy, since I didn’t actually build much muscle in these years should I start my “countdown towards my genetic limit” now since I am only training right and building muscle now?
I dont think this is completely true at all. Ive seen insanely big bodybuilders with small wrist and huuuuuge arms. Maybe strength is more related than size
To be honest this is a good way to educate people. Lots of people who look up something like “GAIN 30 LBS. OF MUSCLE IN 1 MONTH” aren’t educated.
The reality is everyone has totally different genetics. Some people gain muscle so easily within a week let alone a year. Simply varies, look at your relatives, father, grandfather, etc… That simple.
I gained ssoooo much muscle, cardio only and I ended at My 600 lbs life
Honestly, I never had problems with my weight. I could eat whatever I wanted and still maintain normal weight, but a lot of junk food really affected my health. Diet plan from Next Level Diet contains delicious and nutritionally rich foods your body, brain and heart will love. It’s definitely worth trying
Concentration camps, friends having gay thoughts about you, and they are also on steroids. His knowledge is so broad.
Why would you cut the head off my picture in the thumbnail? I think I looked great!
I gained 20kgs in 3months, no visible fat. But these are my noob gains and I eat 10k calories a day
4 months training. 7lbs up. 3.75 inches off the waist. 20lbs LBM easy imo. I’m pretty sure I have poor genetics too.
i’ve been training for about 9 months and i’ve put on about 5 pounds of muscle. i’m tall and skinny so i don’t have the greatest genetics for putting on muscle
It’s disappointing at first sight but when you think about it, even 10 pounds is a lot of extra muscle. That’s pretty noticeable.
Hey Coach Greg, here’s my story just want to put it out there. I ran cross country for 6 years, I was genetically gifted in that area but I quit when I went to college with my high school PR being a 16:42 for a 5k which was respectable considering I didn’t train as hard as my peers. I went to college and did 2 years of no training whatsoever. At 20 a friend invited me to weightlift with him. I had never touched a barbell in my life, they weren’t necessary for XC. In my first year of training, (considering my buddy was a navy vet who had been lifting for decades) I went from 150 to 205 naturally, although I ate like a horse and trained like a mule. I’ve seen a huge slowdown though in my gains which I expected. I don’t think it’s impossible to put that much muscle on because I did, but I also trained like a maniac and built myself off a solid platform
I gained 44 pounds in one year but I was so skinny after veganism. And it is not only muscle obviously
It’s biological impossible to gain 10lbs of muscle in 30 days
The next “evolution” to body building is Juice heads getting bone reconstruction surgeries for bigger/longer bones lolol
He always wears tank tops because he can barley fit in a sleeved shirt
8:22 oh my god didn’t know my friends were having gay thoughts about me
9.5 kilograms of muscle in my first 4 months of training, 18 years old from 69 kg to 78.5kg, same bodyfat same height, 1.86
What if I’m 38 been on and off at gym my gen are decent how much could I expect to gain in muscle the most I’ve consistent I’ve ever been at gym was 1yr and 8 months 6 days a week went from 320 to 260 but I’ve found 20 more since then lol now trying to get it before I’m 40
How does this apply to persons who are inconsistent with the gym?
…I’m an anemic female with poor genetics. This actually kind of made me feel better bc I keep training hard and yet I feel stagnant.. at least now I know why. Gotta appreciate the small achievements tho, I am slowly starting to lift more
“Whatever body fat you think you are, add 5%.”
I’m basically 23% body fat with protruding ribs-
Its stressful…. you would think that after one year you would gain the models like muscle but it takes even longer
This chart goes against everything the internet has ever told me about putting on muscle quickly. I put on a no bs 5kg of muscle in the last 1.5 years and people put me down on reddit.. according this chart 5kg is pretty darn good in that time frame
I wonder how much muscle kids put on every year from growing up
I gained like 20 pounds in my first year and know I’m super stuck what is going on?
you could drop 10lbs water/food weight then get a pump on within hours and the before/after will look worlds apart…furious pete has a a video on it
Stopped watching at 2:23 I hate people who get so passionate with the camera..
Thank you for clarifying how women gain less muscle… Unless your enhance…. This is great information
Do you know how to gain 30 pounds of muscle in a month? STEROIDS
I put on about 17 lbs of muscle in my first 8 months as a natural. I thought this was pretty good, but not freakish. I knew I was an easy gainer, but thought it was reasonable.
This guy talks up to G4 and A4 notes without thinking about it. He could be good at singing if he had the ear for it.
what measurements should you take to know your somatotype spectrum?
That’s not 10 pounds of muscle, maybe 2 scientifically impossible to gain 10 pounds of muscle in a month. And 382 grams of protein in one day is over kill…
People judge me for drinking creatine and in my country they judge for taking protein
Need to show this video to those people who don’t train in fear of getting ‘too big’.
Like that shit won’t happen to you even if you train for a good few years lol.
i gain 6 lbs of lean muscle per month for the last 5 months and im a beginner, my family, friends, coach and others at the gym thinking im cheating and i dont know what to do…
To put on 8-12 lbs in the first year should be not highly adapted
Once you stop being a little bitch, the results start to show. Good job bro. Never give up on your goals
Health is Wealth
I was built like a stick terrible genetics I gained 20 lbs in one year at 12 percent body fat McDonald’s Wendy’s diet felt like shit now I don’t measure just enjoy lifting thanks for video good honest info rare thing on YouTube
so if I have shitty genetics, I can expect ONLY 15-20 lbs of muscle in my lifetime????
What if you trained badly the first year then did better the year after?
So true. I’m a pretty short guy,and I was about 54kg at 18yo. I started the gym journey. From bodybuilding to powerlifting, from powerlifting to strongman and back to a “bro” 14 years have passed. I went up to 80kg (I’m 1.65 cm). I was huge and gained a lot of muscle (or so I though). Turned out that I was at 26% bodyfat. I diet down to about 15%, I can now see a bit of the six pack abs, my strength didn’t go down anything significant, so my muscle mass should have stayed mostly the same since I kept my strength and hypertrophy training. But I was shocked…. I’m now 67Kg, and I’m still a bit fatter than I was at 18Yo. So if we take way 2 or 3 kg to stay as lean as I was, I’ve gained….after 10+ year of training….10 kg maybe 11 Kg of muscle (about 22 pounds). More than half of my weight gain was just fat and water….
Here’s my question coach greg/ anyone here who really has been there. I’m about 24, 5’10” about 175 pounds dry and a genetically thick person, I’ve been lifting since I was about 17, played sports and was normal before.
From the time I was 17 to now lifting, the heaviest I’ve been is 195 at about 21 natural, probably about 12-14% body fat cause I had a visible 6/4 pack at the time. never done roids of any kind.
Thing being I went through some things that were my own damn fault in life and really fell of the wagon due to anxiety/depression/substance abuse/etc. I would lift again for like 6 months at a time during this 4-5 year period hard and then relapse to a shit diet and lifestyle. Finally at 24 I’ve truly come out of this self flagellating lifestyle and rediscovered living for my own happiness and being accountable to myself as corny as it sounds.
So really I’m wondering, if I’ve been lifting for 7 years, with a shit diet up to the past 6 months, being about 15-13%body fat with a “2 pack” currently and with breaks from lifting up to a year multiple times, can I expect “beginner gains” to the tune to 10 pounds a year for the first couple years if I’m training right and eating right and my NEET is through the roof as my job is very physical.
Or is the fact of the matter that because I was training like shit earlier in my life that I’ve wasted my “beginner gains” and can expect a max of about +5pounds of muscle a year at my current spot ( not that there is anything wrong with that, I’m currently content and positive about my body more than ever) thanks appreciate the input
How many days in a week we should do compound exercise for bulk up
Can you continue to get stronger even th thought your not building muscle
My problem is that when my coach wanted me to go from 8% body to 15% for football I actually lost almost 4lbs. My strength on lifts went up too so I don’t think I lost very much muscle mass.
If you started at 15 does it go the same way or would you go from 18
I have been training for 14 years and I still put on muscle lol
Hey Jeff,
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your videos. They are a absolute godsend, you provide helpful not commonly known information without all sorts of bullsh*t, and I really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Adam Rhein
Why did Lyle Mcdonald say that naturals can gain 2lbs of muscle per month in the first year and 1lbs per month in the second year of training?
Make a 30 min compilation of u saying ” noooooo” bet its gets 50k views.
Is your skeleton inside you or are you inside your skeleton?
Thanks coach. The YouTube trainer need to hire you and train them to speak the right of things.
I genuinely love you man, you bring so much joy into my life just by watching your videos .. this is a wake up call to everyone
thats not 10 pounds of muscle… thats like 2 pounds of muscle at most
You can’t do this it’s not possible your body cannot grow muscle that quickly even how good your genetics are
my question is how do u know how much muscle u r gaining without any equipment?
like if i take my example. i have been training for 4-5 years. but cuz of circumstances i only train for maximum of 3 months at a time and then i stop for 2-3 months. so many times i have been in that frustrating “regaining” process.
so i use my weight to determine muscle gain. so whenever i stop for 3-4 months my weight drops down to 64 kg but when i start training and after sometime it goes to 70kg and then it stops there….does that mean i have gained 5-6 kg of muscle in these years???
a blind squirrel is somewhere watching this and just hit the thumbs down button
Sorry but for me I gained around 20 lbs in a year. I must be awesome.
That losing weight is so true. I lost the first 20 and thought, “damn I gotta lose like another 20-30”
I would say 30lbs of muscle gain would make someone look quite impressive physically if you compare to normal people. That’s enough that everyone will accuse you of being on roids most likely, because most people are skinny weak little bitch men.
As many muscles as you wish my brother, as long as you have money to buy juice. More juice more muscles my bro.
So the best case scenario is 39 pounds in ten years natural. This is giving me a big reality check.
To summarize, work HARD and be PATIENT. It is very simple, but not easy at all.
No way… an ecto can expect to gain 4-6 lbs in the first year? Are you serious? That’s so lame. That’s wheelchair bound levels of lame.
If you gained 40lbs of muscle total. How much would be lower body?
Thoughts anybody?
I was never a religious man before but I am convinced that this man, this beautiful fucking man is actually a god himself
I’ve been working out for 3 months and still haven’t even gained twice my original size
Even while on chemotherapy i manage to put 4kg in 4 months. I was blown away. Yet now the rate went down, slowly gaining muscle
so easy, eat 1 kg of steroid every day, and do some weight training,
If you work out right you can gain 45 pounds of muscle in 4 years naturally. 50% the first year 22.5 pounds, 25% the second year 11.25 pounds, 15% the third year 6.75 pounds, and 10% the fourth year 4.5 pounds. That is 4 straight years of solid workout day to day, week to week, no weeks off and no months off in those 4 years. That’s solid lifting of good poundages my natural workouts looked like roider workouts. If you did Jeff Nippard’s Bulgarian HIT full body 5 days a week (7 lifts, 3 sets a lift, 21 sets a day), or my modified almost same but 12 lifts 5 sets a lift 60 sets a day you may gain more muscle naturally than that in 4 years, and you continue to build muscle naturally because of nuclei overload creating a growth mechanism by working full body everyday as nuclei is multiplied in the muscle fibers more muscle is put on like a natural steroid.
This is what I did in high school and with minimal time I could squat 450 pounds full parallel without trying. I’m twice the size of my mother and father, and freakishly stronger than anyone in my family way bigger than them. I was 235 pounds on average in High School. Because the weight room was seasonal to just half the year in PE with only 45 minutes a day due to role call I had a very limited time so that’s with only 2 years worth of workout in 4 years. Two of those years I didn’t work out, so it was more like 1 year worth of workout in 4 years. 1 of those years I was stuck on losing weight, the other year I was doing sports instead like wrestling and track to do weightlifting also gaining the muscle back I lost a lot of muscle when losing weight I didn’t know calorie science back then.
If you take a layoff or cut too much and lose muscle, you can gain the muscle back with memory muscle quickly as long as you eat right. One pound of muscle has 135g protein and 70% water. To put back on 30 pounds of memory muscle in a month you need to eat 135g extra protein a day on top of the protein you’re already eating but you also have to workout solid during this time too not sit on your ass. To put back on 15 pounds of memory muscle in a month you need to eat 67.5g extra protein a day on top of the protein you’re already eating but you also have to workout solid during this time too not sit on your ass. To put back on 5 pounds of memory muscle in a month you need to eat 22.5g extra protein a day on top of the protein you’re already eating but you also have to workout solid during this time too not sit on your ass, and this same extra protein is for putting on 5 pounds of new muscle in a month during gear.
You create your muscle fibers. You have to work your muscle fibers to grow them. 80% of muscular size is from type IIA muscle fibers (12 rep max, 80% of 1 rep max) for hypertrophy and strength endurance, 20% is from type IIB muscle fibers (4 rep max, 94% of 1 rep max) for strength muscle which is why light powerlifters can lift the same amounts as the biggest bodybuilders like Jay Cutler. 30 rep maxes work slow twitch muscle fibers which give excellent muscular conditioning and creates a jackload of size indirectly, but in itself it builds no size. Slow twitch muscle fibers are also worked in distance running and long endurance physical activities. I recommend working all three muscle fiber ranges as essential for weightlifting and athleticism like football players and rugby players up to the college and NFL levels, and for others including women to mostly work Type IIB and slow twitch muscle fibers once getting Type IIA muscle fibers to the preferred size (without accidentally getting the muscles massive and looking like 300 pound lean 4.5% bodyfat guys) which is mostly what 135 pound Bruce Lee did and would accidentally murder a 300 pound NFL football player in a sanctioned fight if he were to. Bruce Lee could kick a 300 pound punching bag to the ceiling and each of his nunchaku strikes were about twice as hard as a top heavyweight boxer’s hardest knock out punch. I know how he attained that strength and speed, no one else knows..
So I finally found that I have good genetics:D I was feeling so bad about myself that I gain those small lbs of muscle and now I found this and I am now feeling like super hulk:D Thanks, man.
I gainned 10kg in my 1st 3years. Those are like muscule and fat. Them it took me 2years to gain 3kg of muscule and fat. Started at 55kg with 160cm at 16; now I’m at 68kg with 167cm at 21
I drink 600 grams of protein a day!!!! I also don’t have kidneys
Hi Joma✋❤️
All those years as an ecto having countless people tell me “you are not eating enough, you are not going heavy enough, hard enough, you are doing this wrong that wrong blah blah blah”, I wish I would have had this video to play back to them, of course now they are probably fat mfrs and I am still slim and in decent shape. Young people, learn from this guy, he knows his crap.
Coach Greg how much should a 13 year old boy eat that works out till failure every other day. My dad and family thing I under eat and I just eat high protein and cut out junk food
most annoying thing that comes with being stronger and lifting more…deloading the fucking plates!!! 1 45 lb plate each side the rest 35s when deadlifting…noticed u learned that trick too
I heard Greg say, 12lbs of muscle can be gained in their first year, with those genetically gifted guys. Sitting in my chair cringing because I went from 171lbs to 224lbs in 9 months, you might be thinking fuck 50+ lbs gained in less than a year, not so fast, dropped all the excess fat I gained, now I’m 205lbs and as lean as I was when I started gymming if not leaner. So safe to say I gained roughly 30lbs of muscle in about a year. After consuming this videos content, I understand why I have so many steroid accusations… fair enough hahaha
You don’t even know what 10 lbs of muscle looks like, when i gained 10 lbs of muscle i was training for about 6 months and it made a HUGE dfference by the way 7:13 Muscles don’t go to your waist
I gained 26-27 lbs of lean muscle in 4 years. Greg’s chart is correct.
1st yr I just went from 154 to 201 lbs natural…I did it…The black saiyan
Programmer, weeb, fitness enthusiast, genius could Joma get any cooler?
I have 7 inch wrists….but I know I’ll never be able to get Jeff size arms
i gained 45 pounds natrually in 13 years. from 17 to 30. started at 132 lbs (60 kg) and am now 177 lbs (80 kg).
i am 6’1 (186cm) very ectomorph (“hard gainer”) and naturally very lean (not “skinny fat”).
this is the absolute limit i can attain. I also obviously gained a bit fat as i am not quite as ripped as a 17 year old without gym experience (around 15 % body fat instead of maybe 12 or so when i was 17).
just some rough numbers. 45 lbs are NOT all dry muscle though obviously. i am on creatine so alot is water, some is fat, as i said.
but 45 lbs of mass increase without getting very fat is possible for a typical “hard gainer”. in 10 to 15 years.
to give you an idea
But.. I trained like Zac Efron for 30 days..
You’re telling me that was all for nothing?!
Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn from time to time. Love that.
I just started training last week, I consume 8000 calories per day, plus mass gainer “1 scoop everyday”.. not eating any junk food.. I was 66kg last week Wednesday, now I’m currently 72 kg.. I’ve become very strong and I can already see positive results.
Raymond may be not be bigger than you, he is wayyyyyy more ripped!
This idiot had so many scoops of ON whey which has 5.5G of BCAAs per scoop and this idiot says she couldn’t sleep or eat much. Whey protein kills appetite. The only thing that helped him was his genetics.
Bro you eating wayyyyyyyyy too mchh protein your kidneys gonna shrivell up
Wasn’t muscle. Mostly fat, water, and a pump. Stop spreading these fitness lies. If you’re LUCKY and a complete beginner, you can gain 1-2 pounds of muscle in ONE MONTH for the first year if your training and diet is optimal. You most likely gained 1 lb of muscle. Sorry, this is how it works.
Looks like he aged 5 years in the before n after pics aswel hmm seems legit lol
mk-677 25mg or 1mL ed
Testosterone Ethanate 300mg 2xawk = 30lbs of water weight in 30 days.
The quality is actually unbelievable especially for a channel this size
I am pipsqueak twerp man. After three years of training, I will be shredded pipsqueak twerp man.
Athlean X is right Markus Ruhl is shorter than The Rock and has a lot more muscle
this is way too much protein and that amount of whey is not necessary nor is it good or beneficial at all
Sir I think u have to make video on gaining weight on lean muscle mass weight that how much u can gain on lmm.and hats off yo that video
Pfft. Im not eating 4k calories a day… 30% protein thats 12 chicken breasts. I feel like I’ll barf just thinking about it. Ill just be a petite, dainty man-boy.
nice bro photoshopped thumbnail and look no different in actual vid
I’ve seen in other videos that your a software engineer. Do you still work at big tech companies as a software engineer?
your left shoulder is significantly higher than your right shoulder. Go to a chiro
I think you should concentrate on your posture rather than putting meat on. Your left shoulder is so fucked up, which is also visible on your pecs. They’re nowhere near symmetrical. Symmetrical btw means healthy, not just estethic. In the final pic your abs are sticking out, which actually means they are weak (yeah, weak), which means your glutes are weak, which means your pelvis is tilted, which means your lumbar spine is hyper-extended, which means your first vertebra, the atlas is out of position, which means your brain stem can not communicate with the rest of your body optimally, which means you are more prone to autoimmune diseases, and also means you’re not getting maximal oxygen supply to your brain, which means your IQ is lower than your max potential. That explains why you are a moron.
Now, I’m not concerned about you, cuz you seem to be a moron by default, and all that protein will sure help and kill you faster, which is nice, cuz your kidneys will work sub-optimally and all the toxins will not get excreted as efficiently as they could, but I’m concerned about kids watching your vid trying to copy your “successful method” only to fuck themselves beyond belief. So dude, please eat more protein, it will give you muscle 😉
You don’t need that much protein or that caloric intake for you to get that big.
Is there any way someone could be half mesomorph and half ectomorph
You can get a lot of muscle i went from 80kg to 96kg in 2 months (mostly muscle) you need good genetics eat 6 times a day train twice 6days a week and of course supplements
Hey I gained 20 pounds in 6 months my fat percentage reduced and gained muscle
I had a good diet and trained 6 times a week but I think I gained that much muscle mass because I am a 15 year old kid
“I have 4 to 6 scoops” a week, yeah that’s a fair number more than I have but… “a day”:0
Scooby had made a muscle gain calculator a long time ago.
https://scoobysworkshop.com/muscle-gain-calculator/
I started training when I was 16-17 and was 62 kg (138 pounds). I am 39 now and have gained 40 kg (89 pounds). I have trained very irregularly, with breaks lasting years at a time. I never took any steroids and have several injuries as well, which are making it hard or even impossible to do some workouts.
Oh, not to forget, those 89 pounds gained are all or almost all fat. I am a fat guy. You’re welcome, I wasted a few minutes writing this as well
I gained 26-27 pounds of muscle mass after 4 years of training, and 33 pounds of muscle+fat gain naturally. I can say based on my experience, Greg is absolutely right.
I have small wrist like you but my biceps are larger than normal
Who wants to talk about how much anal sex they are having all the time? Come out it”s ok!
This video is the biggest cap it took me 4 months to gain
7 pounds, probably 5 pounds muscle and 2 pounds fat
Absolutely correct, I’ve gained exactly 4 lbs muscles for my first year, training very consistent and hard.
Hey, Greg thank you for videos they have lots of value, I would like to have your advice on this if you only 3 days to work out would you work during the 3 days doing full-body workout? or would you divided those into 2 body part per day to work out example biceps/back legs/shoulders triceps/chest. Thank you so much for taking to read this.
There is no way he gained 10 lbs of muscle in one month. At most it was like 5 lbs muscle and 5 lbs fat
do you understand the begginer can get for 1 year muscle 9-11 the maximum is 1,5 and is only for the first month-2 second year the maximum is 5kg muscule you if you gain 10 ponds is 1/1,5 kg mucle other is fat
2:56 you buy food for yourself, you cook for your self, you eat by yourself, you go to gym by yourself etc but you still complain that you don’t have time for yourself? This strange millennials…maybe time “for myself” means time for pornhub?
i cant eat this much what will happen if i workout but am unable to consume 2000 plus calories a day?
I weigh 180 and have hardly any fat, but I’m 6 4” so I still look like a skinny shit yay
10 pounds in 30 days. more like maan you haven’t pooped in 30 days
I’m just gonna throw in this is the best chart I’ve seen cause they usually say like 20+ in the first year….
ffmi is like saying someone who scores over 30goals ina season in soccer is on steroids because most players dont achieve tht lol so dumb
Hi to be sincere and respectful i still think the first body type in thumbnail on left side is much sexier and desirable than any of the bodybuilding looks of the right side.
Let’s grow!!! I’m lean but need to be lean with muscle 😉 Thanks Paul
I went from 125 lbs at 8% body fat to 150 lbs at 12% body fat (5’7″) in my first 8 months training, as a natural. Granted I did almost everything right, I always suspected I had good genetics. I’d be just a little bit surprised if this is as uncommon as Greg makes it out to be. Regardless, maybe I should see for myself if I’ve actually got the genetics to compete someday.
The problem with calculating with FFMI is that it doesnt consider the water weight people hold. If you eat a lot of carbs, you’re gonna a lot of water weight, and more so if you’re gorging on processed carbs. A lot of these football players are very bloated, that skews the ffmi big time. Secondly, body fat percentage is harder to determine when you have a lot of muscle. A lot of these bloated linebackers, powerlifters think they’re 15% body fat when they’re more like 20-25%. You will have better muscle definition at higher percentages.
Very weird that Greg’s averages are about half of what every other study/accepted opinion is. I’d argue that greg is wrong about his charts, which is one of the few things I disagree with him about. Even a quick google search showing multiple sources agree on 1-2 pounds of muscle gain per month for men in the first year, which would be 12-24 pounds.
David, what would your advice be for a guy like me. A little over weight, wanting to slim down but get toned up. Just advice on eating, and where to focus my work out. Thanks bro keep on being beasty, beasty, beasty.
Not an example of physical exercise.
Good example of verbal practice+gestures tho
That scale is definitely a estimate cause In HIGHSCHOOL 2016 I was 187 muscle and the calculation told me 182. And I know for a fact I can pass 182
I’m confused… at 4:10 do these figures relate to males? You were talking about females but then mentioned what to me seem quite good FFMI numbers for women but saying they are low? Thanks great video. Very interesting:)
Actually they shorted you are the bigger your biceps can be! someone who’s 6″3 can never achieve the same biceps as someone who’s 5″6.
The calculator is pretty cool. I’m 6 foot even @ about 13% BF. Been training for almost exactly 2 years, my FFMI was 20.5. Still progressing! Super helpful, thank you!
I should probably show this to the guy who told me he gained 20 lb of muscle in 3 months, huh…
Great video!!! I have asked so many times in some of your videos “should i diet, should i aim for muscle gain? But all of that got pretty clear on this video… I will try to build some muscle first and try to see tje scale go up… Obviously with the less amount of bf possible.
Hi Paul, the calculator for body fat it´s not attached. Love your videos!!:)
Yay! The video I’ve been waiting on because ive heard and read conflicting statements regarding this topic. Btw, are those scales that display body fat percentage accurate or just a waste of time Paul?
5 8 is about right. At max weight ever 170 should be right. Like 160 ay my height looks freaking ripped
U can gain. But its depend how your boddy gonna react on steroids.
4-6 scoops? what the actual fuck. hahahaha. bro you are crazy
I’m ecto, been training for year (with some pauses, corona/being sick often), I went from 70kg to 83kg (natural) in a year and now leaner than was when I started so what the fuck greg
this in the background “YOUR FRIENDS HAVING GAY THOUGTS ABOUT YOU” “HOW MUCH ANAL THEY’RE HAVING” i snapped in rq
Hi Brandon, please, I need to gain 15 20 lbs of pounds in 48 hours for an upcoming fight against the bully in my school.
I have a 3 finger gap. Trying to build my biceps is a nightmare
Sir, I have heard some people say, “big, lean, natural pick two”. Is this true and why?
I’ve doubled my calorie intake and workout 5 days of the week for 3 years and I gained 10lbs of muscle. It’s hard work
Why would anyone add to know how much muscle they can build. Seriously. +10. That dosn’t make sense. It would make more sense if you multiplied instead, to find out how muscle you can build.
I used to think 30 lbs of muscle was like just buff…i didnt know 30 lbs of muscle is what you look like…i guess 10 lbs of muscle, 10 pounds of water/glycogen, 10 lbs of fat is what im trying to achieve
I gained 35 pounds of muscle in 4 months just by eating really heavy meals(last meal as close to bedtime as possible) taking 90 grams of whey protein after my workout. And 1 scoop of creatine before my workout, and 1 scoop after sometimes. I go to the gym and lift heavy weight 3 to 4 times a week. the trick is to eat even though your full never letting yourself get close to being hungry
if i listen the that shit my max weight will be 180 pounds… but my weight whithout fat and any muscle just like now is 170 lol im 6 feet guy whit large shoulder… that show how wrong is that. it take only your height not your body shape… you can be small and large dude so you will weight more
Thanks for breaking that myth that you have to be over 6 foot tall in order to look good. Shoot I’m 5’8 and this is a motivation to continue.
You’re actually dense if you think its that hard to gain 5 pounds of muscle just because you cant doesnt mean we cant either
How to gain more than 1lb of muscle a week. Insert steroid needle here
Working with what you’ve got is something most dismiss. Great advice. Seems it all boils down to commitment to one’s self. Awesome vid.
30 POUNDS IN A MONTH?? U ARE RIGHT…YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT
TO GAIN 30 POUNDS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME…YOU CAN’T HAVE A JOB…AND MOST IMPORTANTLY..U NEED A LOT OF DRUGS AND FOOD
Just saying the maximum anyone can gain in a month is 2 pounds
If you can gain 15 lbs of pure muscle over the entire training career naturally, if would be incredible enough
What if you started as a 120 weakling, then got upto 145. Am I destined to be puny?
I went from 130 to 160 In a 4 months but I always felt like I’m an ectomorph I know half of it is fat but that’s 15 maybe even less of muscle does this mean I’m that one in a million or am I not an ectomorph
One quick question about lifting weighs. Would you recommend to increase your weight by a little bit (let’s say 2.5 kg) every 2 weeks? I’m not looking to get extremely muscular, I just want to lift weights consistently throughout my life.
I cant gain enough muscle to not look skinny in my skeleton.Put 50 lbs of muscle on and still look like a skeleton. 6ft2 130lbs-180lbs(17 years of training)

Hey coach Greg I have a question. If you happen to stop training at some point say after year 2 because of injury or whatever and take the whole of year 3 off. How much gains can you make in the year you come back, excluding factors like rebuilding lost gains and muscle memory and so on. Does your body pick up right on that year 3 genetic potential or do you lose it by taking the whole year 3 off?
Never did give Coach Greg videos a chance though it appeared on my feed all the time. Now I can’t stop watching them and no, it is not because of the hair. Literally started watching from 490k to now > 500k subs in what must have been just a week tops. He says it like it is, TRUTHFUL and doesn’t mince his words. Feedback: Would be helpful for many if you could share more beyond calories in and out for fat and not weight loss optimisation. Genetics, what you eat, how you eat and how you train will determine how efficient your body uses fat as fuel. One can be on a caloric deficit, loses weight and most of that weight loss comes from muscles…not pretty.
Yo bro loved your vids, I’ve got a question does your program come with a nutrition plan for skinny fat guys? Let me know am so excited to make this year a year not to forget!
awesome vid bro still waiting on those shirts you look beast af in the thumbnail btw
To all the people watching at the end of 2018.. Watch the entire video.. It was actually worth it.
Does anyone else think that he is a look alike of chubbyemu?
I’m starting to eat a lot and I try to eat healthy even tho I’ve always ate way too much sugar and salt and I’m now gaining 1 kg/week. Not all muscles I think but that’s still huge.
In about 2 months I gained about 15lbs of muscle buy eating about 10 eggs a day and protein shakes but now I can remove form 146lbs at about 5’9
I honestly love you man, i got so discouraged cuz of my first year gains cuz all the charts say i should be putting at least 25 lbs in my first year and all i got was 9. I thought i have the worst genetics in the planet
I can also put 2 fingers in there & have had naturally ripped & bigger arms since I was 13.

Can we really make a determination of potential size based off of bodybuilders who use substances that force unnatural amounts of Anobolic stimulus in the human body? Take Moger for instance. He is absolutely huge, but when he injured his self recently and came off the gear he was smaller then me. Heals up, gets back on gear and now has 30 to 40 lbs lean mass. I think what people want to know is how close in size to these elite athletes can they expect to get without gear. Unfortunately the answer will discourage most who intend on training naturally.
Very misleading and not even possible but maybe knowledgeable, however don’t misguide people like that
I mean I just do some no gym full body workouts for like as many reps as I can do in a day…
Dude, your video are awesome, Especially the abb stuff you have!! Could you do a video that focuses on the upper abs and less on the lower abs, or maybe a video that incorporates all abs? Thanks, man! God Bless!
