How long does a good physique take

Probably 2-4 years of consistent effort

Aesthetics is mostly diet. Hit your protein macros and eat a surplus.

If you're skinny then no need to cut until you have a frame you're satisfied with.

It depends on your genetics, the training and diet. Typically, to get fit it'll take a few months based on the previously mentioned variables. After that, expect it to be up to a year to get to a point where you're noticeably fit.

After a couple of years, your body will look jacked if you stay the course. It's something that you should be looking for results right away and more of a gradual burn that requires dedication to maintain.

Keep in mind that it takes around 9 months to make a life and you're trying to correct years of habits in an environment that rewards sedentary & high caloric lifestyles. Takes time man. Lot of sweat and tears.

The rest of your life

4 months you'll be undoubtedly different if you've been doing everything right, although it may be more subtle.

10-12 months you'll be a completely different body type.

Its a life style. Couple of years of hard training an hour a day to start looking jacked

I think I’m just starting to not look dyel after about a year. Somewhat noticeable where people make comments after 6months. Have pics in my post after about 9 month which I think is reasonable progress in a year if you’re very dedicated or have decent genetics.

Depends on how young you are and if you cuck-lift or actually lift

HillaryLostTheEC · 2020-09-21T23:06:25+00:00

If you're a skinny guy then eating a lot everyday is a struggle. You have to be disciplined and eat no matter how full you are. It's a lot of work to bulk up and cut. That is the only way to be big and ripped.

started at 19 6 ft 154 lbs, I’m 23 192 lbs & not even close to what I want to be maybe 2 more years. The day you start lifting is the day you’ll be small forever lol, just remember it’s about the journey, I’ve reaped more rewards from it internally than anything.

krainex69 · 2020-09-22T00:21:28+00:00

3-4 years

used2befast · 2020-09-22T00:30:35+00:00

Want abs? It's all diet.

WalkToTheHills82 · 2020-09-22T01:49:52+00:00

Short answer: It depends

Long answer: it depends not only on length of time you have been lifting, how strict your programming is, how strict your diet is, discipline, etc.

And it’s pretty hard to pin a clear day/night difference because you’re developing incrementally. For me, personally, I could observe that people are starting to take notice around 6 months - 1 year, which with decent programming and dieting, should yield you with a lot of noob gains. Your body has a lot of room to grow when you start lifting before you hit a plateau, which is from my experience, roughly around 2 years.

Edit: that or you can ask your local gym juicehead, I’m sure they can recommend you a good Roid stack and some Estrogen blockers if you wanna fasttrack lol

It takes a long time. If it was easy, everyone would be buff. Just work on your strength for a couple of years. Get your squat / deadlift up to the 250-300 pound range (depending on your size) before working about cutting or aesthetics. You should be able to do that with one years of consistent training, and it gives you a solid base of strength to branch out from there.

1-2 years to put on some solid muscle and look like you lift. 3-4 years to be lean with muscle and still look like you life. After 4+ years is all just refinement and small gains here and there. This is as a natural of course with average genetics

ForsakenLeopard0 · 2020-09-23T05:42:32+00:00

About a good couple years of hard, consistent work. Take tren and you can reduce that to about a month or two.

Leonardslemons · 2020-09-21T23:48:35+00:00

How old are you? Age is an important factor. Its alot easier for a 25 year old to pack on muscle than an 18 year old.
