How many years does it take to get.....???

I regret not writing down my start date for working out. (And the amount of weight and reps I did...and photographs...)

I am making progress in every session, be it as little as one extra rep, or weight increases or both - in every exercise and on both of my days. Strength is increasing, as measured by my log , kept since 10 months.

I photograph myself monthly and see size growth. BUT - how long does it take to get "there". I am talking about the point where appearance meets strength. Where the bicepts become guns and the quads levers and the chest and neck like a bull.

I know it is drastically different for everyone, but surely, someone knows how long it takes to go from soft to a hercules. Muscle takes time - everyone knows that - but how long until its size passes the "fit" stage into the "big" stage? ? ?

Thanks
 
I'd say about 3 years of dedication. However, its really wide open as to what exactly you call big, chest like a bull etc. and individuals naturally have different peak rates of muscle growth.
 
some ppl can make a tremendous change to their body in days and weeks. the rest of us take months and years.
 
haha

"as measured by my log "

haha im sorry but i started cracking up when i read that...

thats a good question though. I found that its actually pretty easy to get fit looking, flat stomach and moderate muscles, but to turn urself into Rambo u need a little extra. U need to really go all out, dedication to everything, diet, sleep, weight routine. u really have to push to get what i think ur looking for.
 
i know, i still laugh at that line too...

so there is not an answer? i can't imagine that it only takes months, even if one is fit to begin with...it must be years...right?????
 
wrong idea

i think u and i are thinking differently.

to get big, like body builder big, takes a long time, probably a year. i think it was Abear who got really really huge/ripped. maybe he could help form his personal experience.

i kno more about just getting strong, cant help u that much sorry but good luck
