Hes 6'7 not 5'7, keep it up bro keep pushing that weight getting that good food in you and killing shit on the lifts, it only gets better lol just wait until about week 5 or 6 hahaha shits gonna get real
Yeah, you basically echoed what I said. but a couple of things though:

I doubt its muscle memory if he has been power lifting and doing meets recently

sure he added a little muscle, but a LARGE majority of the weight is water without a doubt.

Also I dont see many power lifters that are shredded, 340 lbs sounds like he has high body fat to me even at 6'7.

I am not doubting that he gained over 30 pounds, I dont know where you got that from what I posted. What I am telling him is that it's water and to be careful.
