Yes that means it’s only a matter of time until the 30 minute daily ab circuit will finally show me my 10 pack in all its glory

Same for "building health" overall. Same goes for saving money when you're young.

Only remember that you see yourself in the mirror every single day, that’s why it hard to notice progress in building muscle or in losing weight/getting lean, but when you see pics from 6 months ago or even longer you’ll immediately notice what big changes you’ve made. Also when you see a friend after a long time, he/she will immediately let you know that you look leaner or bigger from when they saw you lastly.

Building muscles is like melting a glacier. It takes a fucking long time, and the change is so gradual you might not notice, but the before and after are unmistakable.

I love when I see the "build muscle fast" videos so I can just keep on scrolling lol 😆

Yep. I started training consistently about 9 months ago and it's been a slow, gradual process so far.

It wasn't till I started tracking my workouts that I realized that I'm getting stronger.

True, if you have instagram physiques in mind, then of course it wont happen in a few months. However, I cannot stress how rewarding muscle building feels. Even if you take months for a few pounds of muscle, it feels absolutely amazing and that time is worth it.

I'm 53 and I've always struggled to gain muscle. I'm naturally very skinny. I guess I don't have the best genetics for muscle building, I'm naturally good at long distance cardio, I can still swim 60 lengths breaststroke (1500m) in under 35 minutes. The thing is I love lifting weights. I started lifting 7 years ago and because progress for me is so small, I didn't realise the gains I've made. I'm 5 10" ,7 years ago I only weighed 139 pounds with a 28" waist, today I weigh 156 pounds with the same size waist. 17 pounds of muscle, for me is quite impressive, but I don't notice it in the mirror.

If you can move more weight, do more reps with the same weight or do the same reps with the same weight, but better control as last week, it's working.

I have been in plateau for 10months now In all of my lifts as an intermediate (not even advanced) I barely manage to add 1-2reps in a span of months I do 8-15 working sets for all muscles and do RIR1-0

Didn't you say that you should see an increase in performance from workout to workout? I know that doesn't necessarily correlate with visible muscle mass, but it still represents tangible progress in a way

That's how I feel with my calves, but I do notice a strength increase that keeps me motivated

Winding down after a nice hard lifting session. Cant lift heavy and i'm cutting, but I know the progress will be well worth it. A year and some has passed since I started to watch my food and hit the gym up, and many more years to come.

muscle gain is just looking at your reflection one day and going, "Dang, how did I get that much more muscular?"

Very true, staying on the grind is tough but so rewarding in the end!

Remember: muscle building progress moves so slowly that it often doesn’t feel like progress when you’re in the middle of it.
