Weight gain per week

Guys, im an extreme hardgainer. Weighing 66kg and 180cm. How much weight can i expect to gain per week while bulking?
Thanks

It depends how much of a surplus you're in.
I would take it slow though - I'd rather gain as little fat as possible because it's a PITA to lose it.

That will lead to gaining a whole lot of fat, if you're actually eating that much... How long have you been doing that, how much weight have you gained, and how do you determine your intake? (weighing solids, measuring liquids? Or guesstimating?)

2000 calories a day total intake, or a 2000 calorie surplus over your maintenance calories? If the former, it's probably not a surplus for you unless you're a wee man. If the latter, you're going to pack on a lot of lard in a big hurry. Bodybuilders refer to that as a "GFH bulk" (Get Effing Huge), but their bulks and cuts are highly, *ahem*, shall we say, "supplemented" (i.e., steroids and drugs).
