    What's Your Fastest Weight Gain???

    Hi everyone,

    I have a question for you, what is the fastest you've gained weight in a short period of time?? Just curious as I have whent from 213 2 weeks ago to 228 currently and solid as ever. All I did was add 2 protein shakes at 56 grams a piece and another can of tuna and 10 grams of creatine monohydrate to gatorade after i lift......oh i forgot i started babygotback then too(routine rocks built!)

    C'mon let's here other peoples true life outrageous claims......

    I once gained 2lbs in a week.

    That's about as fast as I've gone.
    22 - 5'10@236lbs!
    Bench - 325 (old)
    Squat - 455x2 (old)
    Deadlift - 500(old)

    Total: 1280lbs 100% raw



    The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body.

    It's about 3 lbs. a week. Factor in water gains and all and it's not that far fetched.
