How long after you SEE results in bicepts

**PODNickerz** · 12-26-2003, 12:09 AM

How long would you see it would take for a beginner to start seeing growth in bicepts
I mean not by measurment, but just seeing?

Because it has been like 3 weeks and i still havent

Patience is the key to success. You have your whole life to develop muscle, let nature take its course.

never.....happens pretty gradual...personally after putting a few inches on my arms over the years, i never really noticed a change in the mirror. Happend to gradual, and for the last time its BICEPS!!! how many times have I told you? hehe

**PODNickerz** · 12-26-2003, 12:16 AM

well 3 weeks is hardly any time for significant arm growth so i definatley wouldnt expect much change in that department. I myself like to take bodyfat tests and neck, shoulders, arm, chest, waist, quad, and calve measurements every 2 weeks to chart my progress. Find this very useful in determining what I need to change in my training and what is working/not working for me.

**ah_boi** · 12-26-2003, 12:36 AM

can state ur routine and the no. of set u do fer each of ur bodypart ?

**Jcfreak_02** · 12-26-2003, 12:44 AM

It could be a few weeks could be a few months. Have shorter goals to work towards otherwise you may be disappointed when you first start to platue after newby gains. Something especailly like size, I mean lots of size growth usually takes several months.

**zerglim** · 12-26-2003, 01:55 AM

dude if u look often in the mirror u wil not see changes. instead,
take pictures and compare 6-8 weeks. personally i take pics every 3 months. i dont notice the changes myself but everyone is telling me ive improved

**BoxSquat** · 12-26-2003, 05:46 AM

I'll tell you now... start thinking in months and even years, not weeks.

**XtotheZ** · 12-26-2003, 06:00 AM

Erm, idiot. Bodybuilding takes time and care, treat it like a baby, nurture it, you shouldn't care when your biceps grow. The less you think about them, the more they will grow.

**jimmy_page07** · 12-26-2003, 07:34 AM

post your routine, maybe you are overtraining.

**Ethereal** · 12-26-2003, 08:03 AM

I never notice a difference in myself. Only through pics and through other people's comments. When a girl asks you to flex and she feels your arm, then you are making progress.

**thugluv** · 12-26-2003, 09:39 AM

How has been your diet those 3 weeks. If you are just beginning, In 3 weeks you should already see some little newbie gains.. But like the other said, give it time and dont forget to eat a lot (and clean) general rule : 1inch on arms = 10 pounds gained in weight

**psikooz** · 12-26-2003, 11:02 AM

You will see results when training has become an established part of your life.

**LAXmatt0473** · 12-26-2003, 12:15 PM

if you want bigger arms train your triceps there is more to being big than just big biceps

**|-|ard Gainer** · 12-26-2003, 12:27 PM

go up 50lbs on your compounds and you'll see bigger arms

BUMP

The individual will never see changes in himself if he always looks in the mirror. My arms look the same to me even though they've grown about 5 inches.

**buildingfast999** · 12-26-2003, 02:35 PM

I can tell I've gotten results in biceps almost immediatly after using perfect form...make sure you are using PERFECT form always to completely hit both heads of the bicep...

**PhilDaPimp89** · 12-26-2003, 03:47 PM

Must be genetics but I see results a couple days after working out. Very very very very very very gradual, I record them.

I notice a small size & tightness change within two or three weeks of training. That was when I just started though (3 years ago).

**PODNickerz** · 12-26-2003, 05:06 PM

Well i already noticed my stomach getting bigger

There used to be a big bone on each side sticking out but now its fading away

This is the program i do (made by the owner of the gym) I have told its not great but i havent got experience with programs and stuff so i am prob gonna stick to this for a while

5min Bike warmup at around 42RPM
Leg Press
Leg Curl
Calf Raise
Bench Press
Seated Row
Shoulder Press
Pulldowns
Pec Dec
Situps
Hyp Ext

And i think my pecs are getting denser

**KristofDocsev** · 12-26-2003, 05:53 PM

first off, get some weight gainer in your diet or some high amounts of protien. And start doing some deadlifts, bent over rows, and heavy squats for mass.

**PODNickerz** · 12-26-2003, 07:17 PM

Though i have had alittle peak at other peoples programs (all stored in same place)
And i have seen different machines and stuff so i am guessing when i can do a certain amount of weight, i will move to other machines

**Fury Dragon** · 12-26-2003, 07:47 PM

As it's already been said, think in terms of months and create small goals for yourself. Personally I think these were the two best bits of advice so far. Then again I'm no expert.

**XPumperX** · 12-26-2003, 08:04 PM

1. Your routine is pretty crappy
2. You don't even work your biceps directly
3. Don't focus on your biceps, like many beginners do
4. You won't really see gains withing 3 weeks
5. Without pics, you will never see real gains, since you see yourself in the mirror every day
6. You need to gain weight
7. Why do you have more than 700 posts, though you have been lifting for only 3 weeks and have no idea about it
8. Keep it easy, you're 18.
