From what I've read gaining 10 LB of lean mass a year is pretty good even if your doing everything right. This means that under my improving but I'm sure less than ideal work out/ diet I'm looking at minimum three years to add a couple inches to the guns? Wow I'm feelin very depressed. Or am I off with the 10lbs a year? I'm pretty novice but I think I'm past those addicting beginner gains. I know there is no hard fast rule but I would like to make some at least in the ball park goals. Anybody have some experience with longer term gains and what is obtainable with no illegal chemical helpers.

3 years... but that of course includes the stereo typical bench press and curl phase ... then the horrible summer without training etc. diet and traing have increased in quality along the way.
