I want the most for my gains... and I have been doing machines for roughly a month or so and they are alright, I have had some mass increase... but I really want to get the max out of this as I have roughly 8 months to put on hopefully 20 lbs of muscle... I want to know if any of you think you can do this, and I want to know what kind of freeweight exercises you would do to get these kind of results. Keep in mind I haven't used freeweights before and I might not know what some of the exercises are.... or how to perform them... i.e. I've never done a deadlift before but I know what squat and bench are and some of the things they show you in the mass training programs on here so if you have anything new tell me what it is, or if you would just tell me anyways it would be greatly appreciated... any input on reps and sets etc would also really be good :)

Realistically, past newbie stage, clean gains are approximately 4 lbs. per 100 lbs. of bodyweight per year. So, a 200 lb. guy could reasonably expect with solid diet to gain 8 lb. of lean mass per year. This is not written in stone, and it will vary a bitof course, we are all different, but again, the word being "reasonable" expectations.

You will do well with free weights. Eat, rest, eat and you will gain. Remember this key, you grow outside the gym, not in the gym.

Im by no means an advanced trainer yet and I definitely have not put on a lot of muscle YET.... I read somewhere for those who have not been training for a reasonable amount of time that you could expect 1.5 - 2 lbs of lean mass gains per month.... it said somewhere in the same article on this board that yes experienced people get roughly 1/4 lb per month once you start reaching your genetic potential for your muscles so that would line up a bit more with what you're saying... but given this 1.5 - 2 lbs is so I could expect maybe only to gain 16 lbs if I have a really good training regimen and eat consistently?

Be careful of what you read...but what you state is pretty solid. Again, with good diet, this cannot be stressed strongly enough, you can do well. Rest is equally important.
