Sticky Thread Sticky: Daily Workout - Challenges and Victories

In light of the extreme focus this board has in regards to the 'body beautiful' (and the frustration that results in people not 'getting results fast enough'), I thought I would create a sticky that changed the focus a little.... This is a thread for posters to use to recognise 'every day'...

Question How much muscle can you gain safely in about 6 months?

How much muscle can you gain realistically in about 6 months if you really throw yourself into it?

I don't know if it makes a big difference, but I know now that my back pain is from a sacroiliac joint sprain from my last heavy deadlift 6 weeks ago. I'm going to see a chiropractor because what I'm reading seems to indicate that is helpful with pain relief and recovery. Has anyone else had...
