>>69833571>>69833571I've been at it for over six months, that's how I've had visible muscle growth. I've gone from utter skinnyfat (was already sedentary then lost what little muscle I had dieting) to slightly above average musculature.
I do three 12-15 rep sets of 10 exercises in one day that hit every muscle group and the specific muscles I care about. If I haven't slept well sometimes I stop and do the other half of the routine the next day, but I usually keep up with it just fine and I've only had one strain which was in my first month of lifting.
Taking all this into account, then, you're saying I can get to a decent size like this? I do two high protein, caloric surplus days (lifting day + day after) and five days of deficit, I can't really lose weight otherwise. Eating 1000 less calories (measuring all my food) than what the calculators say should be my daily intake and doing 600 calories of cardio on all five of those days only loses me a pound a week, my metabolism is glacial and it's slow going even when on paper I should be starving. Scheduled to have my thyroid checked out.
