      Is it possible to gain 3-4 pounds of lbm a month for a beginner ? Should a beginner eat 500 kcal surplus or a 250-300 kcal surplus?

      I wouldn't go upwards of 3. I was thinking in the 2-3 range at that's in the best case scenario.

      I don't assume anything. OP just asked a simple question, can beginners gain 3-4 lb of LBM a month, answer is yes.
