it depends on a lot of things... but that's quite a bit regardless

If you'd been cutting, your body will really be primed for growth...

If you are taking something that causes a good deal of water retention, it's fairly easy to gain 15 lbs of water quickly....

If you have increased your calories significantly, and quickly, you can gain a good deal quickl...

And if you put all those together, 22 lbs isn't impossible!

Heck, I gained 41 lbs in less than a week post contest, almost all water, but in the 6 weeks since then, I dropped 20 lbs, and now have packed at least 15 of that back on, up a total of 36 lbs or so in a little less than 7 weeks post contest.

You're body fat was lower that 5% to start with?

Yeah, the 22 aint impossible. Like Al said, you can gain 15 lbs of water fairly quickly.

What are you taking and how much? How long are you going to do it for?

My first cycle I mean my cats she put on 25 lbs in 3 weeks and by the end of the cycle it was close to 40 or so.....but that was a first cycle as for you bf....they are most likely not correct b/c according to my calcs. (yes I hava degree in math) that is 13lbs of lean muscle mass in 3weeks....not going to happen that is also about a 10lb fat pickup...although that is roughly a 1:1 ratio of muscle to fat you will not pick up lean mass that quickly I would venture to say the dbol helps w/that one....pry 10lb of h2o wt. taking any anit-e's?

i think calc arre wrong.
start at 76 kg 167 pounds @5% (so they tell me) first september
after 4 weeks 8not 3 sorry) i am 90.2 kg 198.44 pounds @9.2% (they measured saturday)

which means that fats go up to 10 pounds
lean muscle mass (water + muscle tissue) up to 21.44.
now ratio is 2 to 1.
i read somewhere mostly seek for a similar ratio.
anyway i feel fuller.size of legs arms chest increases.
just wonder how much is water of that 21 pounds.
bye
