💡 My two cents regarding the AI Muscle Trend
✌️ Two parts
👉 swipe for part 2
📝 Key Take-away:
🧠 Weeks 1–4: Strength increases
Your nervous system adapts first: better motor unit recruitment, coordination, and efficiency. You’re getting stronger before you “look” different.
💪 Weeks 6–8: Muscle growth becomes noticeable
Hypertrophy starts to visually show as muscle fibers thicken from consistent training, adequate protein, and recovery.
👀 ~12 weeks: Visible physique changes
This is when other people start noticing changes: body composition, muscle shape, and definition improve.
📈 Year-one muscle gain expectations (males, middle-aged):
• 🟢 Beginner: ~15–25 lb of lean muscle
• 🟡 Intermediate: ~6–12 lb per year
• 🔴 Advanced: ~4-5 lb per year
⚠️ More training ≠ faster gains
Progress slows as you get more advanced. That’s normal physiology, not failure.
⏳ Consistency > intensity
The people who win aren’t the ones doing the most, they’re the ones who don’t quit.
