Before you start working out to build muscle, it's important to know how long it will take for you to see results.

The article from CNET discusses the timeline and factors involved in building muscle. It explains that muscle growth, or hypertrophy, varies greatly among individuals due to genetics, diet, exercise regimen, and recovery. Generally, noticeable muscle growth can start within 4 to 8 weeks for beginners, but significant changes might take 3 to 6 months with consistent training. The article highlights the importance of progressive overload, where muscles are continually challenged with heavier weights or more resistance to stimulate growth. It also emphasizes the role of nutrition, particularly the need for adequate protein intake, and the necessity of rest and recovery, as muscles grow during rest periods, not during the workout itself. Additionally, the piece touches on the psychological aspect, noting that patience and consistency are key, as muscle building is a slow process requiring dedication.
