Success is measured not by the position that one has reached in life, rather by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed.

Hercules welcome to IM!
unless you're gaining fat and/or on steroids 3lbs in 2 weeks is pretty good. I would be happy if I could gain 1 pound of muscle per month.

Gaining weight at a rate of 1 - 1 1/2 #'s per week by eating clean foods is a good place to be. You will put on less fat with the muscle.

stay at those calories for a couple more weeks as long as you are gaining weight. Then once you have stopped gaining you can do one of two things:
1) up your cals even higher and try and gain more weight
2) take one week and lower your cals to give your digestive system a break and to throw your body a curve ball.Optimum Sports Performance
