I reckon 20-25 lbs per month is absolute tops. Anything above that is just crazy.

It is possible to gain about 5 pounds a week. So 20 a month is possible and safe. And fast.

Golly. Is it even possible to gain more than that in a single month?

I imagine it’s not just the rate, but how long you keep it up. I gained about 25 lbs in 3 months. All health and metabolic indicators say I’m fine.

Now, gain 100lbs in a year, which several gainers have done, and that seems more extreme. I’ve seen several develop health problems shortly after such a gain.

Same rate, though.

Just on a quick Google, most sources say up to 2 lbs is healthy, my own experience has been that 5 lbs is the most I can gain in a week and I can’t say I have had any indication of any problems aside from walking a bit slower, but that could equally be put down to months of inactivity due to lockdown.

People that make claims on weight gain and what is possible generally aren't fat or a gainer.
They have a fantasy about it and thats about it.
I suppose anything is possible in extreme cases.
I never gained the same amount from month to month when I was an active gainer

I’m definitely on the smaller side round here but also I worked really hard at it.

You will have times when you gain steadily and then times you don't gain much at all.
Sometimes I would gain like crazy only to lose 1/2 of what I gained.
Maybe that is just me and how my body reacted.
I quit actively gaining several years ago but since the covid quarantine I have gained 20 lbs because I compulsively snack a lot.
