I am currently 165 at around 12% bf and starting a bulk. I am eating 3500kcal and aiming to add 1lb each week, this is my first week so I dont know yet how much weight a diet of 35kcal will give me.
I think my diet is pretty good, it is very clean, I eat 200g protein each day, take coconut oil and am going to start taking fish oil pills to give me the EFA's I need. My workout I think is pretty good too, its a four day split.
What I want to know is, given a good diet and good workout program, if I gain 1lb per week how much of that can I expect to be muscle mass. If I could gain 0.9lb muscle and 0.1lb fat I would be very happy with as this is a 10% ratio. But is this likely?
I saw a progress thread on here showing a guy who adding 20lbs of mass in 2 months and actually lost bodyfat%. Natural too as he was in the military. I know a lot of this depends on genes also but what are you guys experiences, how much do you put on each week whilst bulking and how much is muscle?
