If you are natural, then yes....2-3 lbs will be OK, even that is low...IMO....If not natural, then id be quitting if you can only add 2-3 lbs of muscle in a yr...Especially at this stage of the game, meaning very early as it is only comp.#5.....
people saying only 2-3 lbs is crazy talk, get out there and bust hump.....
Everything else you wrote steved, i agree with......But not the 2-3 lbs.......No way...My girl has added more than that this yr.....
I dont talk crap, if i write it, believe it, it will be proven.... ;^)
