let’s hear it, what’s the best way to see muscle gain and weight loss quickly? I’m on week 3 of working out. Haven’t skipped a day haven’t eaten bad either. I can notice a small difference in my appearance, but I’d like to see something more noticeable by the end of next week. Who’s got the goods? And I’m only half way joking. I realize it takes time. Just wondering what your best tips are for noticeable change while staying on track.

This is the workout I’m following

Muscle and fitness

Steroids and weed.

Seriously how religious have you been about your diet? During the last three weeks, we've have Christmas and New Years. I'm guessing not strict enough because this is the time of the year for good foods and drinks and holiday parties.

1) Count Calories. This includes alcohol, sauces, weighing portion sizes. Once you start counting you will likely be surprised at how many unknown calories add up during the day. Those Starbucks Holiday drinks are delicious but they have a ton of calories.

2) Count Macros. You need to track protein, carb and fat intake. Lots of schools of thought on how much of each you are consuming but shoot for 1 gram of protein for every pound you weight.

3) Take Weekly pictures shirtless, this will help you see changes in your body over time and help keep you motivated.

Physique changes are long and slow. You are in it for the marathon, not an 8-week sprint to return to your bad habits and return the weights by July.

The changes in appearance are so gradual (assuming you aren't roiding up) that you probably will never look in the mirror and be wowed. However, you'll be able to look back at photos from 6, 12, or 24 months ago and notice a big difference.

Learn to love the process and focus on the process rather than the results. The results take time and will come, but if you focus on them it will drag you down because it is a grind.

In other words, work out and eat well because they make you feel good and are great for your health and longevity not because they help you lose weight, and find little things within the workouts and dieting that you like.

Losing fat is slow, but gaining muscle is even slower.

Possibly the single best piece of lifting advice.

Can’t you tell a difference in how you feel?

One thing ive found that helped me is setting goals. Once i was in a good lifting routine, i set a goal for my bench and my squat. Ive reached my squat goal, but not my bench yet. So once i get comfortable at this squat level, i will set another one. I will do the same with bench. Once i reach my first goal, i will get comfortable with it and set a new goal. And im not talking about maxing out. I mean setting a goal of doing X weight for X reps and X sets. Im doing the weight i wanted for squats 5 sets of 6 reps. When i get it up to 5 sets of 8+ reps, i will begin working toward a new goal. It helps me stay focused on the weight instead of what i look like. Aesthetics come with achieving your new goals.

Do lower weights, higher reps and low carbs.

These are the only two things you need from this thread.

Firstly, 3 weeks ain’t shite. It takes months. Secondly, write what your workouts look like. I LOATHE slide shows on websites. Thirdly, are you counting calories, tracking macros, sleeping enough, avoiding alcohol?

Can you explain the science behind this:

I would like to know what specific pathways you are targeting to make results happen faster using your routine.

Literally the only way to make this happen fast is with steroids.

I honestly think that was troll given this board’s opinions. Either that, or he woke up from a coma he entered in sometime during the 90’s.
