No amount of "supplements" will facilitate 10lbs in 5 weeks of muscle. If it's WEIGHT, you're talking about then no problems except the excessive fat gain you'll have.

Calorie surplus is all that's required.

You can't do both at the same time efficiently.

No one can guess what you gained! If you're not focusing on hypertrophy and in a calorie surplus then it's unlikely you have gained any appreciable muscle. Also 2 months is not a long enough period of time to see big results.

Deload week - Yes Recovery week - No

1 hour of proper weight lifting a week isn't going to be enough to progress and increase lean body mass. Could you swap out 2-3 of your boot camps for weight training?

It's better than doing absolutley nothing but won't give you any meaningful results.

- 1lb a week is too fast, even for a noob. - What you eat doesn't determine fat/muscle gain, calories do.

0.25-0.5lbs per month is probably realistic as a newbie.

Does your scale only weigh in whole pounds?

This is precisely what I meant. I absolutely love food but I also acknowledge what fuel my body needs and know that food provides that.

There's nothing rude there don't worry. Fat gains don't count unfortunately.

Yep this. You did not gain 0.5" on your arms in a matter of weeks. That's a solid year of gains for most people

When you think of food as fuel and macronutrients then you'll understand.

No one can answer that unfortunately. You will always lose some unless you take drugs but how much depends on diet, training and genetics.

It sounds like you're doing a cardio/circuit rather than focussing on progressive overload and stimulating hypertrophy. I would call it cardio personally.

What kind of weight lifting gets you at 90% MHR? Unless you're doing Crossfit/circuits or are incredibly unfit I don't see how that's possible.

4kg in 2 weeks is water or fat.

But now everyone here knows you're only 135lbs.......... I'm 235lbs but look 150

Keto is unecessary for weight loss. You need to create a calorie deficit.

Had a company trademarked "clean carbs". That is genius! I'm going to trademark "dirty carbs"

I'm sorry but you have not been 4%. A true 8% is extremely lean

Take drugs and lots of them and eat lots of food.

Peanut butter. Ice cream. Full fat sauces/dips/condiments.

Use casein and not whey. The heat affects it much less!

You probably won't die but it's not a good idea and certainly wouldn't be advised by any sane person on here.

Testosterone is great apparently................... Oh wait, wrong kind of juicing. Carry on!

Surgery is the only way to "remove" excess skin.

I agree with the above but would add that a woman could hope to gain 0.1-0.25lbs of muscle per week.

Enjoy your tendinitis and no gains.
