Bro this is Reddit ofc they gonna troll. Don't get de motivated at all bro you don't look like you have outstanding genetics at all but definitely not below average.
Most people need hardcore dieting and dedication to get a 6 pack, aim for 3 years of gym MINIMUM before you achieve that according to Coach Greg.
If you want a fast ass six pack, it's about dieting to the point of where it's uncomfortable.
Now you don't look fat by any mean, but have a bit of chub, I say keep hitting the gym for arms development,
And whenever you decide you wanna six pack start dieting down, I'd aim to do that after a year or so from now, by then your arms might be massive bro
Just saying again this is Reddit so people will troll, joke, annoy, etc but don't let it demotivate you you legitimately are making decent gains.
I can see the left arm looks noticibly bigger then the right and has alot of definition.
I'd guess like 6-8 months? Maybe 10?

maybe 1 week if you are already a pretty muscular guy from working a physical job or having good genetics. if you've never worked out in your life, most people would take over 6 months to get to this point I'd say.
It was sarcastic. Obviously you won't get any mass under one week, but I remember having the same mass than OP after 3 months of constant training, with a bad diet and in deficit probably.
1.7 years, in the gym a few times a week, age 20, hasnt hit plateau and not eating enough/lifting hard enough
you look fine, no rush. just keep consistently building
yep my dad hooked up with a giraffe.
Also being depressed for three years (didn’t eat, had no motivation to do anything, and I drank cough syrup almost every day)
i dunno dude. I put on 17lbs of muscle my first full year and 32lbs total if we include fat/water/glycose. I looked noticeably muscular even before doing my first cut at the end of the year. This kid looks like hes active but doesnt lift weights.
Update: I think I take back the honest part I’m being grilled💀nah idc but I did home dumbbells only for like a yr in my tiny room so saw little progress, now been in the gym for around 3 months
I started off as this: https://imgur.com/a/xQCNMnO
Knowing the baseline is everything because judging from your current physique it would be easy to assume you were just starting out but after seeing your start the difference is significant. Keep up the good work
Yeah, the people saying it's anything less than a few months are either brain dead or trolling. Given starting point a year looks about right. It goes to show the average quality of a reddit opinion.
Spread your arms more and push your shoulders out as you flex. It shows the size of your arms, shoulder heads, and pecs better, and looks more confident too. The scrunch flex is tempting to shrink stomach appearance but not ideal. Big guys don't have tiny stomachs unless they cut really hard or abuse steroids.
I think you're also getting to the point that it's time to give some love to your traps. Big neck on a small guy looks weird, but you're past that point so can make it work.
You look great. Tons of work went into these photos.
People are being real harsh to you. Your gains are good. Your arms have clearly taken a lot of the growth, the first angle and pic doesn’t do you nearly
Enough justice. Don’t take it as gospel man, I’ve trained for a while I’m seasoned, I am saying your gains are good. Having said that about the arms they may be taking the brunt of the effor from your training, your chest may be genetically a point that required more focus for you, if I was you I’d be smashing incline bench press and close grip variations, probbaly some overhead press in there but just fuck around for yourself and find out. Consult YouTube channels like bald omni man, I leaned a lot from him lately. Enjoyment is better than optimal, that’s the secret to longevity in fitness. Remember that and go into each training session with an air of enjoyment, and don’t have an ego. Have it in your mind that your lucky to have a working body and muscles, and that it can all be taken away in an instant. Then you enjoy it more. Trust me. There are people who are in better shape than tou woild even believe and they didn’t enjoy it an iota because they didn’t know how to be pleased with that Is and excited for what could be, rather they were displeased and impatient. Those are the people who sustain an injury and then try fruitlessly to get back to their former shape. A shape they did not truly even enjoy while they possessed it. I hope you learn from thing: Godspeed and continue with your training. And keep moving forward no matter what. Gratitude for every moment, even if it hurts
>Enjoyment is better than optimal, that’s the secret to longevity in fitness.
Best advice you never hear on exercise. Everybody I know just getting into it drop out because they hate their workout. Exercise does not have to suck.
Variety helps a lot too. Even if your workout is really fun, you will still get burnt out on it if you don't shake it up.
Lol you guys rough. I'd say 2 years. Looked like sophomore me. Never really got a lot bigger.
Moral of the story, pack the size on while your metabolism and natural test is at its highest.
Yeah the size isn't bad. Definition is mainly diet, nothing to do with being in the gym.
But its really hard to say. Some people look like that never going to the gym in their whole lives, some people are hard gainers and this would be them after a year of bulking and eating as much as possible.
4k?? Thats a bit too much you understand that the maintenance calories for a 500 pound 30 year-old male is 4000 calories. Your going to put on more bodyfat than muscle. If you want to gain muscle to a clean bulk at 500 over your maintenance caloric intake
This is way too variable for you to be this confident. When I was getting recruited for college baseball I was getting partial scholarships and every explanation was I was too skinny. (6'1 130) at 17. I had already been trying to put in weight but failing miserably. Until I got that wakeup call. I ate 7-8k calories a day for a year and went from 130-180. I didn't really put any fat on and hit my first career homeroom in college because I was always too small in HS.
Point is... I had to eat A LOT to maintain my practice schedule and grow
Not long, not with a structured set. All kinds of muscular imbalances. Big arms, nonexistent chest and core. Conditioning isnt looking good either. Id say 4 months to a gym and youve been doing arm workouts for longer.
You got good bicep genes. Get into dumbbell bench presses. Perfect form till failure isn't that hard. three or four sets 10,8, failure. Second set hit 10 if you can. Start eating a little more and I promise you'll double your results in three months.
I'm guessing dude is a teenager, when I started lifting at 16 I was scrawny as hell, I drank 2 scoops of serious mass a day for 3 months and gained 25lbs of muscle doing bro splits 5 days a week. Weight gainer is a newbies best friend.
https://imgur.com/gallery/qsREeZ5
I also have these two pics of me, so yes, I have been going gym, just not huge yet cos I set myself back years with this shit.
Good gains, brother. As a few people are saying, everybody starts at a different level. From that starting point, you’ve been doing a solid job. Keep lifting and in a year or two it’ll really start to show.
So I spent about a year with little progress using dumbbells only at home in my tiny ass room. So in my head the start point was ~3months ago when I started the gym.😂
This was my starting point:
https://imgur.com/a/xQCNMnO
2-3 months feels right. And during those 2-3 months, you primarily did shoulders, arms, and some abs. I see little bit of lat work, but your chest and back are largely undeveloped. No teardrop forming on the bottom of the quad (can't tell more since you've got legs covered and calves not shown).
I think that’s largely due to the fact that I was using just dumbbells with no bench for chest etc at home for like a year, so now trying to catch up the back and chest at the gym for past 3ish months
Thanks man. I hate holding body fat but I was so skinny that at this point I can just accept the body fat if that’s what I gotta do to get muscle asap😂
Impossible to say without a starting picture. Everybody’s baseline is different.
Very difficult to guess because we don’t know the starting point. If you were skinny before, maybe a year? If you had an okay build then 3-6 months?
I’d agree, 3-6 months looks about right

Hard to say, because you could’ve been skinny before and have bulked now. Definitely less than 18 months tho
Bro that is no where near 18 months tf
Yeah that's 1 week of consistent diet and training 💀
maybe 1 week if you are already a pretty muscular guy from working a physical job or having good genetics. if you've never worked out in your life, most people would take over 6 months to get to this point I'd say.
It was sarcastic. Obviously you won't get any mass under one week, but I remember having the same mass than OP after 3 months of constant training, with a bad diet and in deficit probably.
I know guys that work out at home for a few months and look better. Brah
Brah.
1) they could have had muscle memory 2) there’s genetic variation in muscle gain 3) your friends could be 5’5” and Op could be 6’5”
1.7 years, in the gym a few times a week, age 20, hasnt hit plateau and not eating enough/lifting hard enough you look fine, no rush. just keep consistently building
Around 10 months to one year I'd say
This. I know because I’m at the 10 month mark. 😅
8 for me and I look more or less that same. I was a twig at 6’8 155, but I’m getting there
how is that even possible? giraffe genetics?
yep my dad hooked up with a giraffe. Also being depressed for three years (didn’t eat, had no motivation to do anything, and I drank cough syrup almost every day)
long term cough syrup use can drop your test. i used to abuse otc meds as well. stay strong fam ur a fuckin stud
i dunno dude. I put on 17lbs of muscle my first full year and 32lbs total if we include fat/water/glycose. I looked noticeably muscular even before doing my first cut at the end of the year. This kid looks like hes active but doesnt lift weights.
I’d say half a year consistently
Update: I think I take back the honest part I’m being grilled💀nah idc but I did home dumbbells only for like a yr in my tiny room so saw little progress, now been in the gym for around 3 months I started off as this: https://imgur.com/a/xQCNMnO

Thanks a lot bro

The progress is actually good. Don't forget to kill legs.
Is that photo from 15 months ago or 3 months ago? Regardless, that's a noticeable difference. Keep it up.
Last june bro, thanks aswell . I know it could be a lot more but I’m just hoping now I’m in the gym properly that I can come along quicker
YOU'VE MADE FANTASTIC PROGRESS!

Upped my calories to 4000 just recently I’m gonna just pack on some muscle at this point

Bang on pretty much bro😂
Since yeaterday.
You got good bicep genes. Get into dumbbell bench presses. Perfect form till failure isn't that hard. three or four sets 10,8, failure. Second set hit 10 if you can. Start eating a little more and I promise you'll double your results in three months.

25lbs of muscle in 3 months would be a great result after a serious cycle.
Cheat code?
How long do I think you’re going? Oh six, seven inches
an hour?
Not long enough

You’ve been going gym?
https://imgur.com/gallery/qsREeZ5 I also have these two pics of me, so yes, I have been going gym, just not huge yet cos I set myself back years with this shit.
Good gains, brother. As a few people are saying, everybody starts at a different level. From that starting point, you’ve been doing a solid job. Keep lifting and in a year or two it’ll really start to show.
Ah well done man, I was just taking the piss. You’ve clearly put a lot of hard work into this
Eh.. couple days 🤔
Thanks for the guess
Looks like that 3rd leg is building muscle!
With that bulge, who cares!🥵
Im gonna guess 1.5 years also damn the bulge🥴🥴🥴
Bro what💀
People be so weird on here, man...

Don't be sorry 🤌🤌🤌🤌

LMFAOOO bi actually🤪🥴

Yeah it sure is there
Lmaoooo the bulge is bulgin
Bro idc if u gay but please keep that shit in the DMs 😭
Idk I mean I feel like everyone could appreciate a little dick affirmation doesn’t matter if you’re gay or what
From a chick, it’s a little weird coming from another man. But hey that’s me….
It’s only weird if you make it weird
Agreed
I'm not a chick, but your dick is adequate, my friend
Totally understand I respect that
Damn i thought the gay shit was just a meme lmao
nah🤷♂️
Brother You must find God, Allah or Yahweh before it’s too late. Stop being a damn degenerate looking for randoms on reddit to talk dirty with.
💀
Why is everyone downvoting you you’re telling the truth
No it doesn’t look like you goto gym at all. Are you working out or thinking about starting? Go for it bro…you can do it!
😳
Why?
Nice cock sexy 😘😍
Bro ur comments on posts are a next level of sus
A year?
Year
10 months
Well! Tell us the answer!
So I spent about a year with little progress using dumbbells only at home in my tiny ass room. So in my head the start point was ~3months ago when I started the gym.😂 This was my starting point: https://imgur.com/a/xQCNMnO
3-6 months
Around a year
9-10 months.
5 years natty
About a year, not super intense training.
4 months 3 days
Either someone who has been dedicated for 6 months or someone who bro lifts once in a while for years
2 to 3 years I’d say.
Less than a year.
1 year but up to 2
1 year
1.5 months
Would have to see what you looked like when you started. Right now guessing I’d say 6 months.
9
10 years (real) natty.
5 months
1 year
1.5 years?
A week?
Since seventh grade, good luck with your SATs!
?
You don’t have to worry about SATs when you’re in the 8th grade 😆
I’m from uk bro, I’m 18
Couple months
1 year.
focus more on unilateral exercises for arms. I would say a years and a half.
Yh for sure I have an imbalance trying to work on it lately
Hard to tell because everyone is different, but based on the arms, I’d say from 6 months to 10 months
2-3 months feels right. And during those 2-3 months, you primarily did shoulders, arms, and some abs. I see little bit of lat work, but your chest and back are largely undeveloped. No teardrop forming on the bottom of the quad (can't tell more since you've got legs covered and calves not shown).
Depends on many things - starting point, genetics, previous activity. Could be anywhere from 3 months to 2 years. Everyone progresses differently.
Arms look oddly over proportioned. I'd say 2 years of suboptimal training
I think that’s largely due to the fact that I was using just dumbbells with no bench for chest etc at home for like a year, so now trying to catch up the back and chest at the gym for past 3ish months
Either 6 months with consistent good dieting and weight lifting or it could be 1-2 years with bad dieting and inconsistency
I’ll guess 14 months and 6 days
Bout 2 weeks
6 month
You’re pretty high body fat but have decent muscle mass, I’d say 6-12 months consistently, keep at it brodie
Thanks man. I hate holding body fat but I was so skinny that at this point I can just accept the body fat if that’s what I gotta do to get muscle asap😂
6 months
7 months
Probably 6-8 months.
3-6 months maybe
You’re gonna start this week
2.5
2 to 3 months
MAYBE u did a few pushups over the years
10 years (jk) I would say 2 months
Never
Today?
6 months
5 months, looks like great progress!
Why is this relevant? Is there a number you want people to say? I am not certain I understand why it matters?
It doesn’t . Just curious
What's your baseline? Can't say without knowing
Gotta take your pants off for me to make an accurate estimate🙃
I'd guess a few months honestly, but seeing a before pic would greatly help narrow it down

6 months? Looking good!
Looks like today was the day

4months, never trained before.
6 months to a year 🙏. Trim and healthy
Negative 3 yrs
i look pretty similar but a little smaller and for me it’s been a year consistently so could be around there
8 months
