So beachbody has a program called body beast and this is what they advertise "By taking the best of old-school bodybuilding and fusing it with a breakthrough in sports science we call Dynamic Set Training, Body Beast is proven to put on up to 20 pounds of muscle mass in just 90 days. You'll crank out Single Sets, Super Sets, Giant Sets, Progressive Sets, Drop Sets, Tempo Sets and more—exercises you've probably seen before but now put together in an entirely new way. Now you'll add resistance and execute elite moves at crazy angles to exhaust the muscle, activate more muscle fibers, and naturally boost testosterone levels far beyond what's been possible before in a home training system."
Now I thought that men only gained like 1-2lbs of muscle a month & women .5-1lb of muscle. How can they say this? And seems like most of the results for mean, they gained like 12lbs of muscle in 90 days.
Can someone tell me what is true? How much can a man and a woman really gain in 90 days?

I call bullsh!t
You can only put on a certain amount of muscle per day (in the grams) - no amount of training or type of training will increase that.0 -

Yea not possible to add that much in strictly muscle in that amount of time. I dont even know if that would be possible with drugs.
Most of the people saying they did are using LBM increases. A guy, usually someone new to working out, does this program and sees some lean body mass test tell him he gained a certain weight. Those are not very accurate and a lot of that will be water (which counts towards LBM). Some of this water is stored IN the muscle so it even looks like new muscle.
It also only makes these promises for the for the first 90 days. Which is just about the time that newbie gains run out and most people bodies have adapted to heavy exercise.0 -

This is a get out of jail free statement. What this means is even if you only get 1 pound of muscle mass, the system worked for you.
Of course no one on this program will gain 20lbs of muscle mass in 90 days....most people don't put on that much in a year, when they are trying.
ETA: In case you are wondering...here is an article that may give you some perspective:

Typical Beachbody hype. No way in hell anybody is putting on 20 lbs. of mass in 90 days - not even if that program comes complete with a pre-designed anabolic steroid stack included. 20 lbs. in a YEAR for a natural trainee would be an amazing accomplishment.0

Yet another reason why beachbody is a bunch of crap.0

Absolute bull****. I'd doubt even someone roided to the eyeballs could manage 20lbs in 90 days. Maybe someone who'd lost 20lbs (of muscle) and was regaining it. But Beachbody wouldn't be the optimal way to do it anyway.0

12lbs in 3 months for a man isn't likely either, is it?0

12 lbs. in 3 months is a pound of LBM per week - still highly unlikely. Read the article that Craigmandu linked to - 0.5 lb./wk would be optimal results for a newbie trainer, given 100% spot-on nutrition and training (which most people fall short of). About half of that for a female.12lbs in 3 months for a man isn't likely either, is it?
Beachbody is a marketing machine. Their claims are trumped-up and full of the usual nutrition/training scam disclaimers ("up to", "results not typical", etc.)0 -
