weekly gain?

kk

i just saw on one of the posts someone said that if youre not gaining at least .7 lbs/week then youre not bulking well and its a waste of time.

so that got me thinking...

i properly started bulking round about Pesach/Easter time depending on your religion... and have gone from 55-56.4 kg since then...

i guess thats pretty ***** progress as thats early april -ish lets say the 6th, which would make it exactly 10 weeks since the start, meaning i have gained an av. of 0.14 kg/week or 0.3 lbs, which seems v. low...

so what should i do to improve my gains????

at the moment im doing 2 30min workouts a day, shoulders/triceps in the morning, and abs + legs/chest + biceps in the evening...

i am 15
weigh 124.3lbs / 56.4 kg
5'8"
male
and now, thanks to tonymclellan, chillen and i think phate89, gay... not that theres anything wrong with that, its just starting to annoy me..



o yeah, and i eat 2700 kcal/day, even though my bmr tells me 1601.989 would suffice...

What you are going to find is that there is no such thing as consistent gain. Sometimes you will gain more and faster than the .7lbs. (where do people get these numbers?) Sometimes you will not gain as fast or as much. (as you are now)

First - You are 15, which makes you a beginner. More often than not you will have a period of time where your body is learning to use the muscles it has more efficiently.

Second - You will have a period of time where you learn to be more proficient at the different exercises you are using. Again, a time when increasing muscular coordination is where your better lifts are coming from. (just some friendly advice, when you think you are proficient at an exercise, your not. Keep learning, keep focusing on getting better )

The above being said, you will have results. It may take a year or 2 before you get better results from weight lifting. At that point you will realize a lot more increase in muscular size from your training.

Actually, as you get better and better at muscle control, learning how to push yourself, and a better understanding of what works for you, you will get better and better results.

It takes a lot of training, learning, and time for most people to start getting the results they are looking for. (from a strength and size standpoint)

So be patient, consistent, and learn as much as you can.
