Muscle growth is a common training goal. We lift consistently and keep our nutrition in check in the hopes of developing lean quality muscle. But for many people, it’s not exactly clear how fast they can expect to gain muscle. If you look on social media, you sometimes see these crazy 4 or 8-week muscle transformations, which simply have created unrealistic expectations for many people.

Now that’s not to say you can’t make significant muscle growth progress in the short-term, especially for novice trainees, great progress can be made. But as with any fitness goal, patience plays a key role. So in today’s video, I will discuss how fast you can realistically expect to gain muscle. We will walk through 4 variables that impact your rate of muscle gain and this will give you a more clear idea of what you can expect in terms of results. See the timestamps below!
