There's is no way he's gained 13 lbs in two weeks. If he gained two lbs of muscle since he's been on campus, he might end up a Sam or at least as a money.

He was probably closer to 210 arriving on campus. It's not that big of a deal for a kid to put on 8-10lbs in their first two weeks of a college strength program due to access to quality food. Gains in the weight room are a lot more about the nutrition than the work put in.

He probably has about 2-5lbs of fluctuation for water and sodium so I'm assuming he's experienced a decent 3lb gain. After the first month his weight gain will plateau and slow drastically though because his body is adjusting to a drastic change in stimuli.

This is all coming from someone who's profession and education is exercise science and nutrition.
