I also don't find the 30lbs of muscle claim that crazy, and he probably did most of that with strength training rather than bodybuilding. It may also be worth noting that both of Jeff's parents were competitive bodybuilders so its actually more his access to knowledge that gave him a headstart over the average gym newbie.
I got into the gym initially via discovering Starting Strength and 5x5, and people add a ridiculous amount of muscle in the first year or so with those programs all the time. Those that don't, assuming they actually follow the workout plan, either they start overweight and have no idea the ratio of fat loss to muscle gain when they succeed, or those who start out skinny generally don't eat enough to max out their potential gains and hit the kind of gains Jeff did.

Yes I did 5x5 training back when I weight trained. Would highly recommend for a hard gainer. It was the absolute best for me at putting on mass. Hypertrophy training did not work for me. But I acknowledge I must be a special case because most of the guys I knew trained like that were able to get quite big but when I did it I saw no mass gains. Lifting heavy with 5x5 with core work was everything for me to progress.
