How long should it take me to get about 14 lb of muscle?

[Anonymous]

So my target weight is 14lb more and I would like it all to be of muscle. I've been exercising for a long time but only starting last month did I begin going to the gym. I've gained a couple pounds of muscel I think since then and have been steadily increasing the weights I lift as I get stronger. I'm 6'3 and 182lb. I'm an ectomorph so I'm fairly skinny which is why I'm trying to gain weight how long do you think it would be for me to get to mid 190s?

Oh and before people say go ask on bodybuilder site I've asked questions there before and they've never been answered so asking there won't do any good.

It all depends. #1, Workout... period! I usually did it 6 days a week... I'm lazy, lol #2 Workout CORRECTLY. There is no I'm doing it my way crap. #3 Don't do Jerking workouts which don't help and can cause major injury.

-Different people make gains at different paces, but then again, they don't all do things the same way, eating the same food.

At any rate, hopefully it will take you less than a year, but who's to say. As long as you keep on going and don't stop. In my teens, I was gaining 5 pounds every other day on my bench and on other workouts. Obviously, the more weight you can lift, the muscle you grow. One thing leads to another AND of course, don't take any stupid steroids.

... the more weight you can lift, the MORE muscle you will grow...

I stabilized at 170-175Lbs asuming I can get back to my lower fat %, while keeping or growing my muscles.

Well if you want muscles, just go to the seafood store and buy your 14lbs of muscle.

Its harder than it sounds, I'm eating 3500 cals a day and I weigh 150, can only imagine how much you are eating

It would take me forever.

Depends on your genetics. I'd guess 8 months to 2 years.

Lean muscle? Probably about 6-9months.
