Time and Muscle Growth

[hulkoutlvr]

I've mentioned this question as a sidebar in other threads, but since this is a particular fantasy and fetish of mine (goes along with guys who hulkout), I'm interested to know something from the big and rapidly growing guys.

1. What's the shortest amount of time an article of clothing has lasted you?

I have heard of guys on cycles who have reported as much as 10 pound gains in a month, and a guy I talked to online told me that once he had purchased a shirt that fit like a glove on the day he bought it, and when it came time to wear it to a meeting 10 days later, it would barely button and the lats were practically splitting. Has anyone ever had that type of experience, and has it promoted buying "cheap" so as to not spend a lot of money on clothes that won't last? I'm just curious.

Yep, that happened to me. When I first started to gain and grow, I gained 30 lbs in 3 months, so 10 lbs/month. I had semi-loose shirts that were tight 10 days later. I remember one shirt I bought literally did not fit the next week. I could not even get it on. I had to keep buying new clothes until that growth spurt finally slowed down (damn, I really loved feeling myself grow like that), but I don't think it put me in the habit of buying cheap clothes.

Hell yes they're cool experiences! I love hearing about this kind of stuff. I once thought that kind of rapid "hulk out" growth happened only in the fiction stories on this forum, but I have talked to a few guys who have experienced increased sex drive, more chest hair, deeper voices, all because of the increased testosterone levels that come with lifting. That might be another question to address in this thread. Did anyone ever feel an increasing sense of masculinity, basically feeling more "like a man" as they got bigger?

If I get any deeper of a voice, people wouldn't understand me. But the positive juicing effects of increased muscle, sex drive, more aggression are all good for me. Makes me more of my alpha male to the extreme but gets me into trouble.

Oh yeah. In the past 2 years, i've gone from about 185# to 230# and there's no way I could fit into any of my old stuff, especially old polo shirts. Minor inconvenience, though, for the thrill of adding 45# of muscle to my frame. I still get a thrill when people who haven't seen me in a while tell me how much bigger I am.

Damn Chris! That's some growth spurt. That's always been one of the hottest things about muscle growth to me...running into people who haven't seen you in years and seeing their reactions. Tell us more, big man!

I've been backing working out about 9 months now and while my weight has barely changed from about 250 lbs, my proportions have. Now that I'm finally benching over 300, I've had to go to larger shirts as most of my old clothes are too tight through the chest and shoulders.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you...
