For all you newbies and regular guys..lol This is something to help you be very happy with the gains and progress you make in a short time.
We should be so lucky to be advanced on chemistry and weight training science to make some of the gains we do.
These are facts and are not opinions all works cited and sourced at the bottom.
Estimated Minimal Average annual muscle Gain based on body type.

So this is not an AAS user. This is the common everyday individual withnthe 10 assumptions of :
1: intense and strict weight training
2:no missed workouts
3: no prolonged illness or injury
4: no over training
5: percent body fat remaining relatively unchanged or slightly decreased
6: good protein and healthy fat-rich-low carb diet.
7: optimal dietary supplementation
8: No performance enhancing drugs (steroids, prohormones, creatine, etc.)
9: a relatively stress free environment
10: male of average height about 5'7"-5'11". *obviously height is not a variable you have any control over, but for sake of generalizing in order to create useful recommendations that apply to most individuals, I restricted analysis and how it applies to this range.
So acheiveing more that half of these assumptions 1-9 is victory in itself. If you have also nailed your body type correctly then you have an average and estimated idea to work with.
I hope this gives you guys some understanding that gaining 15 pounds on a short 12-15 week cycle is outstanding, so dont be to hard to judge.
