How much lifting progress can I make between now and the end of August 2020?

Lots of progress, enough to make a pretty nice transformatiom in that short of a time frame. Weight gainers aren't worth it, I used one, they make you gain a lot of weight very quickly so most of what you put on will be fat, and cutting sucks so just drink protein shakes instead. Bulkimg and cutting is stupid unless you REALLY know what you are doing, and when lots of pro bodybuilders are bulking in the offseasom they are only in a surplus of maybe 300 calories a day. Aim for 150-175g of protein per day and run a PPL split so you can hit each muscle twice a week, more opportunities for your muscles to grow. That's like 104 times a year you are growing vs 52 if you only hit each muscle once a week. Trust me, this is the way.

I'll throw in my current routine to give you an example

Sunday: rest

Monday: Push

Tuesday: Pull

Wednesday: Legs

Thursday: Push

Friday: Pull

Saturday: Legs

Rep scheme is up to you. Ascending pyramid sets have been killing me lately, they are the perfect balance between intensity and volume imo. 4 sets on each exercise, start with a 12 rep max, add weight and do a 10 rep max, add weight and do an 8 rep max, then the same with 6 reps as well. Fuck the weight you are lifting, hit those numbers and make sure the sets are difficult and you will grow like a weed, form is more important. Don't just move or lift the weight, use the mind muscle connection, slow eccentrics and concentrics while squeezing the hell out of the muscle throughout the set.

Spend a solid chunk of that deployment building muscle. If you're eating MREs and T Rats, it's going to suck. If you're eating at a DFAC, you'll have more options. Spend the last 3 months or so cutting down.

Short answer is, you CAN make a lot of progress.

Do a full body program twice a week, increasing mass will make u lift more but the amount of muscle you'll build won't change
