Is it possible for EVERY guy to put on muscle and weight? I wonder how Bruce Lee looked before he really started working out. It's crazy how he was real thin but so strong.

I don't know what to tell you but that's what happened. Again...I have been a runner all my life and I wasn't lifting as much as I did now. Running five miles would be a warmup. So I cut down I. The running drastically, increased my meals, and went hard in the gym. For the first few months I would be in there everyday except Sunday...shit even twice a day.
I'm bit saying I'm ray Lewis but muscle gains is in my family. If I didn't run early on in life I would be at least 240 like the rest if the men in my family.

I hope you took before and afters because with those gains you could write a book and make millions.
45 lbs in 9 months of muscle
5 lbs per month on an already active athlete with no PEDs
for 9 months
thats ASTOUNDING

Stop talking bullshit, you didn't put on 45lbs lean mass in 9 months unless you ran 2g test per week.
Maybe you put on 45lbs, but not everything is LBM

And if you really did put on 45lbs LBM in 9 months without gear, you should consider becoming an IFBB pro because your genetics are literally the 1%.
I started at 6" 132lbs and am up to 176lbs in about a year, bench is almost at 225, didn't train legs because of an accident and 2 surgeries.

Most of your muscle bulk is in your legs and ass, so you could have put on more though I suppose you would have had to eat a bit more to compensate. I'm impressed you put on that much in a year with no lower body training.
I had a friend go from about 138 pounds at 6' 4" (basically looked like a holocaust survivor) to about 195 at 6' 4" inside of a school year, so ten months. Unrecognizable.
He started out at iggy pop body fat levels (6%?) and is still pretty lean, probably at or under 14% body fat.
These guys putting on massive gains in short order are generally very underweight to begin with. It's not some 245 pound bodybuilder going "ONE WEIRD TRICK TO PUT ON 60 POUNDS OF LEAN MUSCLE IN SIX MONTHS OMGWTFBBQ", just some comically underweight turd finally learning how to eat properly and lift heavy.
They're also usually young (under 25) and lean. Put them on a diet of heavy lifts and lots of food and they just explode to a healthy body weight or somewhat higher. Genetics is not always a big factor. Enough training volume and sufficient food can play a huge role.

I think you're painting the picture that I said I am still as ripped as I was at 180. That's not what I was saying. Of course I gained fat my man but I kept a flat stomach. Being my last semester in school and working in a restaurant I had ample time to lift and eat.
An athlete? All I said was that I run and play sports.
As I said before:
1. I have been running 40+ miles a week, wasn't lifting with half the frequency as I am now, and I ate less
2. Imagine me going to down at a maximum of 10 miles a week now, lifting twice as much and eating more.
3. Genetics: My family has some pretty big (musucaler) dudes in it
Don't hate on my results.

bro, if you have before and afters and kept a training log - you could make millions with this. start a website, tell everyone what you did, write and ebook, sell some products and become a weight guru.
no joke.
