@jameshelp If you want an actual answer, you can achieve an extremely aesthetic physique with roughly 18 months of time spent in a calorie surplus to build a foundation of mass followed by roughly 6 months of cutting to be lean. Obviously some of this cutting time may be in the middle to maintain leanness but that is a pretty sure fire formula If you have perfect training, nutrition and recovery the entire time.

  1. True, probably the second most supported piece of supplement/nutrition research in all of sports science
  2. True, but oversells the magnitude and doesn't go on to say that the trend is in favour of higher frequencies above 2x, though the benefit doesn't reach statistical significance
  3. Not true for most levels of advancement. Speculated be true for advanced lifters, but NEAR failure is what's really supported.
  4. True, probably the most supported piece of supplement/nutrition research in all of sports science
  5. True, but so undetailed as to be useless. Protein powder, creatine, multivatamin.
  6. Maybe true. It's either missing a timeframe or a 0.
 
@davidcapp Thanks for writing out the details I was too lazy to hahaha

But for #1, OP wrote at least 0.8-1.0 g/lb... that's the UPPER limit for optimizing growth, unless you're cutting...
 
@jameshelp
  1. The most important things are consistency and progressive overload.
3 months isn't very long and if I'm reading that right, you're been cutting for 2 of them? So obviously you're not going to see huge gains in that period.
 
@jameshelp So how long doing proper, progressive weight training?

The long and short of it is that it takes time. However you should very noticeable, good gains in the first year if you weren't spending a lot of time cutting.
 
@jameshelp All you write up here is ok but as i learn most important is consistency and progresive overload.

I was 105kg only running drop to 92 and with gym drop on 80kg,and yes i was skinny on pictures its look greate,abs bla bla,but in real i was weak and skinny.Then with gym go up to 95kg and feel greate.After that i stop with gym more than 1y and now start go again but dont go regular and results are not same.And now i dont watch what i eat,dont go to sleep in time bla bla...and trust me result are not same.

So i thing if you go regular pick some lifts and progresive overload with enough food you can build what you want.

For me its not the same because i have kid now and i dont want to go in gym spend time so i start doing hit type trening now so will see whats happen.
 
@jameshelp If you are not tracking your calories, and you say you are doing everything else on the list. It is your missing piece of the puzzle. Find out your TDEE and start tracking what you eat, no more guessing
 
@jameshelp I don't know, been an athlete whole life and been lifting for couple years. I guess in 5 years you can have s great physique. Hell maybe even in 2-3 years you can have a decent one. Depends on a lot of factors tho
