How long should I expected to grow my chest and shoulder circumference to my goal?

[Dwyanethelifter]

I have pretty bad upper body genetics and always had a decent sized lower body so I always got mogged in the upper body section by people who didn't even lift. My current measurements are 38 inches for my chest circumference and 45 inches for my shoulder circumference. My current bench press max is 230lbs and my OHP max is 145lbs. I don't have any lift that I max out for my upper back but my most recent worksets for the pendlay row was 165lbs for a 3x10. I try to do 12 to 20 sets per muscle group, more sets for the ones I deem as a weak point such as my upper back and triceps. My goal is to get to a 45 inch chest and 50+ shoulder width. How realistic is this and how long do you think it would take me to get to that goal?

Your current fitness level, genetics, training intensity, nutrition, and consistency all affect how quickly you can increase your chest and shoulder circumference to your specific goal. A well-designed training program will help you build muscle over time. Muscle growth is a gradual process that takes dedication, patience, and dedication.

Within a few months of consistent and structured training, individuals can expect to see noticeable changes in muscle size and strength. It may take several months to years to achieve specific goals, depending on individual factors.

Consider these tips for optimizing your progress:

Engage in a resistance training program that targets the chest and shoulder muscles with appropriate exercises and progressive overload. In this category are exercises such as bench presses, push-ups, shoulder presses, lateral raises, and rows.

By increasing weight, repetitions, or sets, you can gradually increase the intensity of your workouts. Muscle growth and adaptation are stimulated by this.

Consume a balanced diet with adequate protein to support muscle growth and repair. Get enough calories to fuel your workouts and achieve your goals.

Give your muscles sufficient time to recover and adapt between workouts. Your training schedule should include rest days and 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.

Maintain consistency in your training program and a long-term approach. In order to build muscle, you must train regularly and remain persistent.
