You won’t gain as much muscle as you think.
2016 to 2022
Can you guess the weight difference???
7 pound….and that took 7 years. Yes it took me 7 years to gain 7 pound of muscle and that was with consistent training.
For newbies to the gym you will have a spike of muscle gain at the very start but it soon evens out and slows down.
It’s all well and good saying you have gained pounds in a short space of time but it won’t be muscle gain. The likely hood is you have just gained body fat, and maybe added some kinder lighting.
Muscle gain takes time and consistency. Stop buying into the idea that you are going to make massive amounts of lean muscle in a short space of time.
For most women gaining 1 to 2 pounds of lean muscle is pretty standard per year. Bring in factors like height, age, diet, training effort supplementation and existing muscle will make a difference but not by much.
The problem I see most people having is effort & consistency, they don’t work to failure &/or have no consistency. Working to failure is extremely important, you need to get used to pushing past the discomfort and pushing to absolute failure.
Stop buying into the idea that you are going to gain a load of muscle in a year.
Sorry to be a total bummer guys but I’m sick of people buying into bull s**t.
