| + | The fat gain will add a softer bulk to your body while muscle gain will be harder and more defined. You’ll also notice that your strength has increased with muscle growth while you’ll likely feel a little weaker and more fatigue with fat gain. We’ll go into more detail later on in this article. The dynamics of muscle gain vs. If you’re gaining muscle, you’ll be focusing on resistance training and eating more grams of protein. If you’re gaining fat, you’ll eat more carelessly and won’t perform the same resistance strength training. For most people trying to gain muscle and avoid fat, diet is the biggest hurdle. You’ll likely be working out, but your calorie intake will be a problem. You might fail to get enough good calories and protein, which means your muscles suffer. So focus on eating good high-calorie foods like starchy carbs, | ||

| + | Whether you’re at the start of your muscle-gaining journey or toward the end, it can help your progress to know what to expect. Let’s look at how quickly you can build muscle no matter where you are in your journey. Men who are just starting to lift will experience a longer time frame of building muscle compared with those who have been working for the last 10 years to achieve the same goal. Let’s assume that you’re sticking to a rigid training plan and eating all the right foods to promote muscle growth. These gains of 0.5 lbs to 2 lbs per month typically last about a year for newbies. However, some will experience faster or slower gains depending on a few factors. Genetics, experience in fitness, consistent training intensity, and diet will all impact these numbers. Muscle gains tend to decrease after the first year of training, so experienced lifters will see a different trajectory of growth. | ||

| + | If you want to continue gaining, you must put in the work, lifting heavier weights, doing different exercises, getting enough calories, eating the right foods, and even using supplements. Men and women also gain muscle at different rates. A man will typically gain muscle twice as fast as a woman will. That means a woman can expect 0.5-1lb of muscle every month. So while a man could gain 20-24lbs of muscle in the first year with proper training and diet, a woman will only gain 10-12lbs of muscle. Gains also slow significantly after the first year for both men and women. Women will also see about half the amount of gains as men after the first year. So while a man might gain a pound of muscle per month during the second year, a woman will only gain about 0.5 lbs of monthly mass. While muscle growth never stops, most people will start to see a decrease in gains after age 40. This is primarily due to your aging body losing about 1% of your muscle mass every year after age 40. So while you’re still gaining muscle from your workouts, you’ll compete against natural muscle loss of age. | ||
