How long does it take to build muscle?

Having perfect muscle lines is the dream of many boys, which requires certain fitness exercises. Of course, such exercises cannot be completed in three or five days. It requires continuous patience and persistent exercise. In addition, you must master some better methods. As for how long it will take to shape the muscles, it has an important relationship with the personal physical training method and physical constitution.

How long does it take to build muscle?

How long it takes to train your abdominal muscles to form or be effective depends first on your own physical constitution, such as whether you are an ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph (of course, no one actually belongs completely to a certain type, and everyone is more like a combination of all three body types). Furthermore, abdominal muscle training itself is restricted by many factors, so there is no definite time. You can only distinguish people according to their physical constitution to determine which people are more likely to train abdominal muscles with which physical constitution. Or, if you work harder and spend more effort on training abdominal muscles, and use the right method, you may achieve results faster, and so on.

It is generally easier for people with ectomorphic physique to train abdominal muscles. Some may see results in one or two months, while others may see results in just a week. Characteristics of ectomorph physique: generally short upper body, long limbs, long and narrow hands and feet, and very little fat storage; narrow chest and shoulders usually attached to thin and long muscle tissue; such people have a relatively developed nervous system, but a thin body.

2. It is relatively easy for mesomorphs to train abdominal muscles

People with a mesomorph physique have relatively low body fat and a solid muscle structure, which makes them suitable for training abdominal muscles. Therefore, some people call the mesomorph physique the muscular type. For this kind of people, abdominal muscle training may show results in one or two weeks or one or two months. Physical characteristics of mesomorphs: Mesomorphs are generally strong and muscular, with broad chests and long torsos. They are slow to react to pain, but are also aggressive and often rude in communication. This type of person is also called the "physically strong type".

3. It is more difficult for endomorphs to train abdominal muscles

People with endomorphic physique generally have high body fat and find it difficult to train abdominal muscles. It is also best to lose fat before training abdominal muscles. The fat reduction cycle is generally 45 days. In fact, people with a body fat percentage above 10% are better off losing fat before training their abdominal muscles. Then the abdominal muscle training cycle will generally be 45 days. Therefore, people with endomorph constitution may see results after three months if the situation is good, and it may take half a year if the situation is bad. Endomorphs should lose fat before training their abdominal muscles: do more aerobic exercise to improve their cardiopulmonary capacity, improve their physical fitness, and lay a good foundation for later muscle training. Moreover, the abdominal muscles are located under the fat. If you are too fat, the excess fat in your abdomen will cover the trained abdominal muscles. For example, sumo wrestlers' muscles are actually more developed than ordinary people, but they cannot be seen because of the excess fat. Besides, if you have too much abdominal fat, your own weight is limited, and you probably won’t be able to train your abdominal muscles.
