When does someone lose their beginner advantage?

[Hamachi12]

So I heard that when you first start off, you see gains pretty fast. I do not know if i still have the beginner advantage or not. Because before this summer started, I dabbled in weightlifting, like id be motivated to lift a dumbbell for a bicep curl every other day for a week, then id stop. So i would just keep doing that. Like the only thing i can say ive stuck to, was the p90x chest and back workout, but i would only go half way into the workout then quit. i would do that 1x a week, for about 4 weeks, then id stop for like, 5 months, then id do it again, but i only did that 2x, so i did that cycle twice. Last summer i was a bit more serious, and did the arms p90x workout and the chest and back p90x workout, but it only lasted for about three weeks then i quit. so i would just keep starting then stopping for the most of 4 weeks. So has my beginner advantage stopped? Or does it continue because i stopped and started so much and left months in between of doing nothing?

There is no "time limit" to see the newb gains. Your body gets stimuli, reacts, slowly adapts and levels out, more intense stimuli, more reaction... etc....
Overload.
Progressive Overload.

how long you will have noob gains is dependant on how long you have been doing things right - consistency with training, eating right, proper rest, etc - and genetic factors.

instead of making stupid thread every 30 mins you should hit the gym to take advantage of your newb gain SRSLY

From what I've read OP, you've never even lifted... You shouldn't worry about "noob gains" before you actually start lifting.

Its reffered to as "diminishing returns" basically means the more time you work a muscle the less gains that you are going to recieve over time.
