There are lots of bad information out there that give people a distorted, if not fantasized idea of how fast a person can add muscle through weight training.
A very common story that we read and hear is about a lad in his teens who managed to gain some 20 pounds of muscle after spending a year lifting weights. The thing is, because teenage years is when people generally experience growth sprouts, people in their teens will gain a tremendous amount of weight regardless of whether he is lifting weights or not.
So what is a reasonable expectation for how much muscle you can add in a year through weight training?
Well, if you lift five days a week (an hour a day) with intensity and focus for an entire year, and you have perfect flawless nutrition, you can expect to gain 5 pounds of muscle in a year if you're a hard gainer. If you are gifted with the good genes, you can gain up to 10 pounds of muscle a year.
