Hey guys, I've been lifting and eating right for a couple of months now, with out much of a goal apart from gaining muscle, dropping bf, so i decided to figure out a short 3 month goal and a longer 12 month goal.
But when it came to it I've realised i haven't much knowledge when it comes to setting a realistic goal, for example, what i can expect in certain time frames.
My first goal date would be 24th April 2008 when i turn 21, and for this i want to gain as much lean weight as is reasonable in the 4month time frame with minimal bf gains.
Also for a longer goal I'd like to one day reach the 200lb mark with around 10% bf but wouldn't know were to start in setting a date to reach this goal, at the moments I'm somewhere around 148-9lb and not too sure about bf% (have pictures in bodyspace if helps). This is a big goal and know it will take a lot of hard work and time, but I'm only 20
If anyone can help me out with these two goals, for the first, how much weight is a reasonable amount to set as a goal for the time frame and for my longer goal how long i should put into reaching this goal. Or maybe let me know if they are poor goals, i would like to know and any help in improving them would be great.
Thanks

figure 0.5 lbs per week if you are clean bulking...gaining any faster usually means you are gaining fat as well.

Training regularly but no progress?
You need one or more of these: more food, more weight, more reps or more rest.
