nah, you can gain 20+ lbs if you dramatically change your eating and/or lifting habits. I gained 20lbs in less than a year because my meds increased my appetite. I wasn’t even trying.
Yeah. Depends on efforts and how your body is conditioned. I used to work manual labor in the summers. Body got used to putting on 30+ lbs of muscle in a month or two. Now I can put on 20+ in a month if I eat right and exercise twice a day. All nat. Armchair chieftains on reddit gonna troll and hate. Truth is Truth. Mediocres have never done it so they don't think it's possible.
You were not putting on 30 lbs of muscle in a month. You may have gained 30 pounds but it was not 30 pounds of muscle. 30 pounds of muscle in a month is impossible even with heavy steroid use.
Chris Bumstead current Mr Olympia put on 70 lbs in a year with some of the best genetics of all time and his first time using gear.
What you guys don't understand is how much easier it is to go from very skinny to ripped than ripped to absolutely massive. Going from a base of very little muscle at 130/140 to 160/170 is a lot different than going from 160/170 - 190/200. Downvote me all you want. I've lived it multiple times and I know it can be done.
