How Long Before OTHERS Took Notice...

[NBAFAN2005]

Im new to the bodybuilding world, and I've been training very hard for the last 5 weeks. I workout 5 days a week (splits) and lift as much as I can for 6-10 reps or until failure. For those who have had or have similar workouts, when you first started, how long did it take before others took notice and realized who had been working out. I'm beginning to see some gains, but I think I need the reassurance from people I know lol

2 months.

1 month and i get it from the same ppl everytime i see them like after i havent 4 a week or so....i work out 6 dayz wid cardio every day and ppl noticing is a big bost to keep goin...but it''ll mostly come from girls or mature dudes cuz most dudes just get jelious

depends on how much you gain and how fast.if you gain slowly progressivly a lot of people will not even notice.like if you grow a qaurter inch each year in height, 8 years from now you would have grown 2 inches, no ones going to be like "dam you grew a lot".but say you grow those 2 inches in 2 months then they be like "dam your growing like a weed".either way, work your ass off if you want to get big do it for yourself if it makes you happy it will pay off

well depends. It took me till week 8.

People noticed my arms in about 3 weeks.

for me it took 3 months until my friends were noticing results, its not like you lift for a week and becomen coleman. This is a sport that takes years if not decades

*annoying thing ppl will start doin randomly go up and squeeze ur arm....im like wtf

[JL4LucidDream]

im pretty small and dont have much fat so it only took about a month for my whole body to look more tone and muscular, which is great because when u see results thats where u get ur motivation from.

[Ehhsbaseball]

about a month and a half and i was getting results that people noticed

Don't lift for other people. It's nice to hear compliments from them, but don't wait for their reasurence. Lift for yourself.

Depends on your body type. IF your skinny and you eat alot it wont take long it took me about a month of serious lifting people started saying stuff!

[WCC]

[whistler]

I have been training for 4 months and no-one noticed! But then again i have been using a really crappy routine that i made in 5 mins but as of last week i have started properly

[TheStuddMuffin]

47 days until someone said something.

[recyfer]

Be patient the notice will come. :] Anyways for me it was 2-3 months.
