    Could a natural guy gain 15 kg in 7 months?

    - 75 kg 7 months ago; 90 kg now
    - BF 7 months ago - 20-22%; BF now - the same or at worst 22-24%
    - mostly bro splits
    - not a beginner, some lifting in the past, no idea how much


    Is it possible?
    Assuming great genetics for hypertrophy... I don't know

    Assuming there is no muscle memory factor and the person does not start underweight, and we are not considering excess water retention, I don't think there is any chance at all of gaining 15kg in 7 months while keeping one's body fat % the same.

    It's possible as a natty if they had trained in the past, stopped training for a considerable amount of time, and reaped the benefits of muscle memory + creatine water retention.

    I did something similar in 2020, managed to get from:
    172 lbs ~ 14% bf (without creatine)
    191 lbs ~ 14% bf (with creatine)
    over a period of 5 months, gain of 19 lbs (~8.6 kg), most of which was muscle memory and water retention

    *edit* Although I started with an extra 4 and a half months of cutting before gaining... 15 kilos in 7 months no change in bf% is kind of suspect tbh

    15-20 pounds of muscle in that time is doable.
