Two Quick Points About Muscle Gain

This is Neal. He’s been in a building phase for about 10 months now and has gained about 27 pounds over that period of time while gaining only about 2 inches around his waist.

Normally we don’t post time frames here as one person’s rate of results likely has nothing to do with YOUR rate of results, but I wanted to make two very important points here.

1) Building Muscle Takes Time

If you average Neal’s results out over the 10 months he’s been in a building phase, you’re looking at a gain of about 2.7 pounds per month. Building is SLOW. And those numbers in women would typically be even smaller.

If you see a product/service claiming ridiculously high levels of muscle gain in a short period of time, it is a sham.

2) With Muscle Gain There Will Likely Be Some Fat Gain

While Neal was able to minimize fat gain by gaining slowly over several months, there is still some fat gain and that is to be expected. The building phase is typically followed by a dieting phase to shed off any additional fat gained and reveal all of the hard work.

If you see a product/service promising both serious muscle gain and incredible fat loss at the same time (especially in experienced lifters) you should save your money.

The bottom line here is the building muscle takes hard work, consistency, and patience. And even after that, you have to do the work to lean out and reveal it.

As I’ve said before, great physiques are built over months and years not days and weeks.

If you’re expecting to be muscular and ripped in 35 seconds, you’re going to be extremely disappointed.
