you'll probably see rapid progress in the first few months, then it will level off...and then you may reach a plateau. that's when nutrition and technique become critical factors. after that phase, gain will become harder and harder.

for example, i started at 95lbs also. within 6 months, i was able to do 205lbs, but i was stuck at that weight for a few months. gradually i was able to hit 225, where i was stuck for another period. just recently i've been able to do 245 comfortably, with a spotter of course. ultimately i'd like to hit 3 plates (315lbs), but i don't know if i can do it at this body weight (it would be nearly double my weight).
