How much muscle gain in 3 months is possible (lbs)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6-7 pounds: There is little research on this issue. The most applicable research suggests that the max a person could gain is 6-7 pounds of lean body mass after 3 months of consistent training without resorting to illegal performance enhancing drugs.
