Building muscle is different for everyone, but anyone can achieve it. The key is a consistent training routine, nutritious eating, and adequate rest.

The article from MSN discusses the timeline and strategies for building muscle effectively. It explains that muscle growth, or hypertrophy, varies greatly among individuals due to factors like genetics, diet, exercise regimen, and recovery. Generally, noticeable muscle growth can start within 4-8 weeks for beginners, but significant changes might take 3-6 months. The article outlines that muscle building involves not just lifting weights but also ensuring adequate protein intake, with recommendations around 1.6 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight daily. It also emphasizes the importance of rest and recovery, suggesting that muscles need time to repair and grow, ideally with 48-72 hours between workouts for the same muscle group. Additionally, the piece covers progressive overload, where weights or resistance are gradually increased to challenge muscles further, and the role of consistency in training. It also touches on the psychological aspect, noting that patience and a long-term commitment are crucial as muscle building is a slow process.
