That's exactly what I told him, haha.

Also, I've been eating really healthy (lean chicken and such) since my bro is buying food for me if I eat with low fat low sugars.

6 pounds in two weeks would have to be fat as a large majority of it.

most people are lucky to gain 1/2 pound of muscle every week

My friend gained 6 lbs in 2 weeks, but he took creatine and said he gained a bit of fat. Mostly water? He went through the loading phase, and then he took some every 2 days cause he kept forgetting.

Not sure, but it's either muscle or water? I grew taller though, but I have no idea. I've noticed improvements in legs, traps, chest, and lats. Can't tell for shoulders, but it looks bigger and my arms grew a cm.

I'm an ecto btw, so I doubt I gained much fat, haha. Could be water.

just make sure you get the right kinds of food

and are you sure that all that weight you've gained is muscle?

no, not necissarily. not in a literal sense atleast.

it means you haven't been maximizing the potential muscle growth you could be achieving

Hm, that sucks, haha. I've gained like 6 lbs in 7 or so weeks, but my arms progressed terribly (only grew a cm). I'm gonna start bringing some food to the gym and seeing how that goes. I really don't wanna drink my whey shake when it's cold though, haha.

but like i said, you need to have something for your muscles to gobble up, or they will begin breaking down

i have the post whey immediatly after a workout. so how long after that?

well that's good then.

but it is really important to calculate your needed carbs and protein after a workout. you do this by the number of forced reps you do during a workout (reps you can't do without a spotter)

if you want, i can throw the equation on here for you so you can see how many grams of each you need.

if you don't get enough, your muscles won't grow as much as they can.

if you get too much, it'll turn to fat

Seems super scary. What if I have to wait 15 minutes after my workout for my aunt to finish up what she's doing?

Btw, if you're looking for a weight gainer (I know I've posted this everywhere) for pre workout, try:

1-2 scoops whey
2-3 cups milk
1/2 cup oats (tastes terrible if you have too much)
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 banana (medium)

For post workout, you can try some cheerios or something.

take a protein shake with you to the gym and some type of food that you can eat right afterwards

Does this mean I've been losing muscle mass the entire time?

it is not wise to wait so long after your workout to get food in you

after you work out, your body is in the worst catabolic state possible, and your muscles are hungry for whatever you got, so they immediatly start taking whatever you have

you need to calculate the number of carbs and protein you need based on your forced reps per workout and eat that exact amount.
