I've been doing the gym, or weight-training, for just under a year now (since April 2024). Ten months. In reality, I haven't actually been doing it for ten months since I had about two months where I did nothing at all, another two or three where I just swam everyday and didn't do any weights (I was bored of the gym).
Still, all this has clearly stood me in decent stead: I've now acquired a bit of definition in my arms, where I clearly have defined biceps, shoulders, etc.
Yet: I've still got room to improve. My stomach is tubby and my chest is more boob than pec. That's really just a result of still having quite a lot of fat on me generally, and as far as I'm aware fat can't be spot reduced, so I just need to lose weight.
But this is the good stage, I think. Where I can see progress, and I don't feel like I'm constantly treading water, but can see the benefits of the work I've put in.
