hey guys, just wondering i was quite skinny 2.5 months ago but had loose fat around my belly, but i started working out at home 5-6 times a week, 1.5 hrs - 2.5 hrs each session and been drinking protein post work out and ive toned up my arms, chest have gone bigger, and my belly's subsided quite alot and i was 62.5 kg (137.5 lbs) 2.5 months ago and now iam 67.5 kg (148.5 lbs), i heard thats very good effort but also it can't be all muscle. What do u guys think? is it good effort? and what else can it be apart from muscle, cause the fat i had around my belly has gone down? and I'm not very tall either, standing at about 167cm (5'6").

well you surely packed on some muscle mass! keep on going..just don't get discouraged when you hit your first plateau!

try mixing your routine up :shock your body" do excercises you hate to do!

it takes the little fun factor that working out provides out by doing exercises that i hate lol, but i pretty much do all exercises, even shoulder exercises lol

i think it is the other way around. Muslce is not fully developed when you are young so the muscle growth is slower. Look at me i am going slow as ****. My brothers were the same untill they hit age 22. i guess i have 4 years left haha.

i can safely say i gained heaps of muscle when i first started lifting either that or i just imagined i did lol, either way i felt 3 weeks of lifting then bulked me up much more then now.
