    It doesn't take most more than 15 years, really it takes like 6 max.

    Depends. How long would it take you to eat 32kg of really lean prime fillet steak? Could you hold it all in your stomach at the same time?

    You'd lose it on the jacks the next day, of course....

    a long time.. its hard to build lean muscle. if your young and new to weights you will gain some a little faster.
    your diet must be pretty good also.. like ktric said 32kgs is a lot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 454 ✭✭b_mac2

    You could put on 32 kilos alright in 6 years but not 32 kilos of muscle tissue. Even with AAS that would be a tough job to do.

    Have you tried the GOMAD diet?

    This is an inane thread. As someone who has lifted weights for close to 30 years I can tell you that you will never put on 32 kg of muscle without doping yourself to the gills with anabolic steroids and suffering all the side effects such as violent moods swings, gonad shrinkage and death.

    But I could manage the 32 before I died tho so...

    Marvel have had some success with Cosmic rays, Gamma rays & on occasion radioactive spider bites. Seriously though; 32 kg of muscle is unobtainable realistically. At least short term.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,348 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    I've been lifting for 15 years and only managed to gain 31.5 kilos of muscle !! :(

    Nah, spider bites get you lean, and some strength gains. Gamma rays give you the worst case of roid rage I've ever seen and cosmic rays well that gives you way too much vascularity.

    On a serious note do you think milk (from women) will help, cos thats how babys put on 32kg easy.

    Did you really start a thread asking a question that you then answered?

    No I asked for the min. There I stated a max ( debateable).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭RidleyRider


    Such negativity:pac: You go for it OP!

    Remember what hulk hogan said, eat your vitamins brother!:P

    Anyway, why 32kg? You could definitely put on 32kg in a mental surplus but how much of it would be muscle gains? It'll depend but it's not going to be 32kg.

    I think you need to scale back your expectations at least in the short term. You will not get these type of gains easily or quickly & once you have them I imagine you'll want to keep them. Maintaining them is as hard as getting them. Whatever you do stay away from steroids as they're a fast track to a dead end. What are you current stats OP?

    I'd hazard a guess that he's currently 68kg


    OP, go for it. Any means necessary will make it possible ;)

    Think he said he'd put on 16kg in 18 months so probably looking to see how long is realistic to put on 32kg.

    stating the max is even more bizarre. Do you seriously think there is nobody on the planet who put on 32kg of muscle who took longer than 6 years to do it?

    Can you give a guess what you think the miniumum is?


  • Subscribers Posts: 6,408 ✭✭✭conzy


    What height are you? e.g @180cm the genetically average un-enhanced will weigh about 93kg maximum @ 10% bodyfat

    Calc based on FFMI

    So unless you weigh 61kg now your not going to gain 32kg of muscle. And if you do weigh 61kg it will probably take 10 years or more to add 32kg of muscle.

    Look at all the natural pro bodybuilders. You don't see many of them under the age of 30 as they have been training 10+ years

    "Never listen to the Naysayers!"

    Well I wanna put on around 50kg of MASS and then cut back to 127kg bodyweight. Currently weigh 82kg, and are 5''7', I started out at 64kg at 17yrs old and been lifting for round 22 months. I have good enough (black) genetics. Thats not rascist its just most ifbb pros are indeed african americans! Hoping to get up to 90kg by this time next year and then

    and then hopefully get up to 140 kg 3-6 years after that.
    (obviously pro-style)

    Well, good luck with that.

    What's your current BF%? How much of your 82kg is actually muscle? Keep measuring it until you get to 90kg, that will give you an idea of how much muscle you're actually gaining versus fat, and then it might give you an idea of how quickly you can put on muscle.

    Everyone's different. But go for it, aim for 32kg muscle mass if you want. But I think you will plateau when you get to 100kg, which is absolutely massive for someone that's 5'7".

    Ye, alot of it is more water weight than fat because I upped my carbs and that been know to help your body retain more water. However I do know alot is muscle since I used to struggle to bench 60 and now rep 100 similarly on all other exercises. Realistically I'd settle for 95kg with 5kg of fat whilst natty.

    Why 32?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 176 ✭✭Blackpanther95


    Why 32?
    Ye, seems weirdly precise, but another website told me I need to put on at least that amount.

    Shrinkage is reversible (easily).

    True.
    But the worst is that protein powder it creates false muscle, and you have to keep taking it- my brother's friend's brother's friend said haha

    Protein? Also available in a tasty 'steak' form. Fair play to lidl and their two ribeyes for €13!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    So at basically 5% BF at 100kg, you'll be able to enter and pick up bodybuilding competition medals. ;) Like anything, it's achievable, but a friend of mine is a bodybuilder who does competitions constantly and is a UA brand ambassador (so he's pretty serious/well known), and he's been doing it his entire life... To get to that kind of mass it can literally take a life time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,792 ✭✭✭Gandalph


    32kg holy sh!t, I honestly couldn't say if it was impossible or not as I'd be sceptical of anyone who said they have unless I actually seen the transformation. But that is nearly your whole young athletic lifetime of dedicating yourself to diet and weights without so much as a hiccup (injuries etc) to your plans. It wouldn't sound like a fun route to take even to become an absolute monster. But sure look if it makes you happy to try, and prove me wrong, well then fair play to ya and good luck!

    By willing to do anything, I'm assuming steroids are a go. Therefore you could signififcantly cut the time required down by using dem tings.

    But assuming nobody on here is a pro bodybuilder, maybe you're asking in the wrong place. I'd say try getting in contact with someone who's achieved this exact feat, then ask them how long it took and what they had to do. Good luck on your quest for gains.

    ;) Nooooo haha- I'm all natural.
    Besides pros rarely admit to doping, they would lose a lot of money if they did. Someone once tried to convince me Arnold was natural hahahaha people eh!

    Ye but this guy didn't know he admitted it, he actually thought that body was achievable naturally at that age.
