>>7216806The squatting wasn't part of the muscle gain.
That was the part where Lyle was saying he wasn't squatting low enough because his squat was higher than his deadlift. That's why he was asking for the vid. Lyle still doesn't believe that he gained that much muscle, he thinks he's just gained the fat in the correct places that doesn't make him look that fat, and that rippetoe measured it wrong. I'm with Rippetoe on this one. Lyle is just too proud, he caused Zach to pose topless, causing all the shit storm.
About the 'you can't gain more than 1lb a month' guy, the max is 25lbs a year iirc.
It's not possible to gain 100% dry muscle mass of 55lbs without steroids, sorry.
