gaining weight is a bitch, 30 lbs of ean muscle realistically could take 8-12 months. no joke. gym rats aren't born over night, just stick with it and randomly more than routinely you'll notice improvements.
I just bounced back from a weight lifting injury that happened during my junior year at college, i separated the sternum from the manubrium, gradually not in one lift, but was from doing dips incorrectly probably, I weighed in at a cool 231, yoked out and had a breathable six pack, now i am 6'3" 205 lbs just getting back to finally being able to lift (since early april 04')
After lifting for that long, I am finally able to see some gains in my lifting, that, and I don't do dips anymore <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.
But i fgure around december I'll be at the weight I'm happy with.
