Curious on how much gain to be expected

[Gators]

Just sitting here on a Sunday am drinking coffee, and was curious how much one could realistically gain (muscle gain that's sustainable) in lets say a couple months. I know, that's a broad question w/ a lot of variables, just asking for shits and giggles. I'm 44, 5'8" 190, about 18% bf, never done a heavy cycle, just been doing TRT levels of test, and not interested in doing big stacks, just test (well, for now anyway). Phil is my long distance trainer, i have no issues doing what he says, he's the MAN. I seem to put on muscle, and have a 'stocky' frame...

Impossible question to answer.
The outcome will be entirely determined by you...

Phil said could gain 60 lbs on McD's super size diet, didn't promise any of it muscle

Yeah i know it's a 'wild guess'

depends on too many factors to be able to predict. I would say 2 pounds of lean mass a month is a good goal to shoot for if you are not yet hit your 'genetic potential' and your diet is on point and your training/rest is also on point.

If you go for a bigger cycle (like 500+mg test/week alongside an anabolic) then I would say 4 pounds of lean mass would be a realistic goal to shoot for per month. So if you're lucky you might put on 10-12 pounds during a 8 week cycle and then shed 3-4 pounds of water weight when you come off, netting yourself 8 pounds of lean gains. That would be a VERY GOOD 8 week cycle though I would say!

Thats just my own estimation/experience and also observing other people's cycles.
