I was talking to my father today about how much muscle I could gain in a year(I based it on Lifeforce's 50 pounds in 11 months) and he said 50lbs in a year is way too much for your bones to handle. He said it would make your bones more likely to break, and also cause you to have arthritic conditions once your older...any of this true? And if it is, how much is weight is safe to gain of muscle in a year?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Gaining muscle to quickly?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I don't know how it would cause arthritic problems but no one not even the most genetically elite can gain anywhere near 50 pounds of muscle in a year especially without drugs.
These noobies that claim that gained 40-50 pounds in a year don't even realize that more than half is water and fat.

I haven't claimed it at all!!! I said if I weigh as much in the morning as I weigh with clothes and full off food THEN I would have gained that much WEIGHT. Right now I've gained 45 pounds and loads off it is fat, water, glycogen, etc... If you're gonna use my journal as a source then I suggest you actually read the things I write.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
lifeforce you always remain so calm i would have :trouble:

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

This is how wars start.
What your dad may be thinking is if someone got anywhere near that, their tendon strength and possibly joints would not adapt to the load as quickly and cause injury.
Let's be honest, a first year bulker, if he's dedicated, genetically gifted and carries a bit of fat well, may well put on 30-35lbs in a year and look resonable on it.
Most people here will gained 15lbs and from there on in the gains will come SLOWLY. That's life.
About 10% of the population will gain a lot in a freaky way, thats great, but I think alot of people here have unrealistic expectations of what you can achieve in a short period of time.
However even 15lb of lean mass is going to make quite a diference to your appearance, but not under a baggy jumper

Did he slap you around the head when you told him, or are you just a sloppy typist? That first sentence makes no sense to me at all.

It is possible to gain 50lbs in a year, although it depends on your bone structure, body type and genetics.
Drug users can gain a solid 25lbs on a decent 10 week course if they do things properly, and thats lean mass.
If you were a 6.0ft mesomorph, you could put on 50lbs of muscle in a year.
BUT THERE IS NO WAY YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT NATURALLY.
As for it being bad for your body? Well it cant be healthy. Thats a hell of a lot of weight for your body to cope with. It puts tremendous strain on your heart.

i gained maybe 8lbs in 2 weeks on 1-test. i was gaining strength very fast, and yes my bones did take a beating. i rmember jumping up 18-25lbs on bench during two weeks and my bones began to feel tight and very unstable, very scary stuff. but yes, in order to gain 50lbs a year. you'll need supplements such as 1-test or such in which again is banned in the US recently :\
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
