How big should you be with 4-5 months training

[kxtreme]

How much bigger should you be? should it be a very dramatic change?

[Jericho574]

Too many factors to consider to answer. Are you JUST starting out, what is your routine, how old are you, how is your diet, etc...

But if you are just starting out, and have a good diet, then the first few months should show excellent progress...then it starts to slow down unfortunately

It depends on the facotrs mentioned above and the individual. To hard to say. just be happy with any gaisn you make whether it be 2 pounds or 20.

man im such a dumbass....... when if irst started working out, i did like 8 exercises per muscle, barely ate anything and took no2 thinking i could gain msucle just by using that. i finally setup a good workout plan after 5 months. i should be so much bigger then i am right now im so pissed off at myself. when if irst started working out i actually lost muscle cuz i lost about 10 pounds and it took me like 4 months to gain that 10 pounds back.
