How Much Muscle is it possible to put on in a year???

Hey guys I was just wondering how much muscle it is possible to put on in a year. Most advice that I have read on other forums and magazines etc says it that in your first year a weight lifting you can expect to put on about 20lbs of muscle and only about 10lbs of muscle a year from then on. Is this accurate? And what have been your own muscle gains whilst weight lifting? Personaly I have but on about 40lbs of muscle in two years.

20-30 pounds is possible for most people their first year.

I am in my mid-teens, and in seven months, I went from 133lbs to 178lbs. Obviously not all of this was muscle, but at least 25-35lbs of this definitely was. I also did GOMAD on/off throughout this time. For someone in their first year, 3-4lbs a month is possible, even easier if the person is in their teens (because of the hormones and such). If you train hard and in a progressive fashion, and eat like a horse, and drink your milk, in your first year you are looking at 30-50lbs of muscle gains. It obviously depends upon the individual.

Some believe you can only gain 10lbs of muscle a year maximum, but from personal experience I know that is utter bullshit.

After the initial beginner gains, 10 pounds a year makes more sense, and that number will only decrease the bigger you become.

This is totally dependent on your genetics. Who ever saying else is either talking off his/her ass or trying to sell something.
