definitely. the most progress (weight wise) I made was during the first 6 months of getting into the gym while muscles hardened up. when everything goes from squishy to dense as a rock is awesome. then it gets a little harder. hah.
A point about that is all the people who say "Ive been working out for 8 months and blah blah blah." I dont think people realize how LONG it takes of fucking hard work to really get good progress. I would say its EASILY a FULL YEAR of heavy lifting before your body starts to learn what the gym is about. I remember even 9 months ago, when I thought I was working hard and shit, it wasnt anything compared to now.
Id say in all honesty, unless you're a lucky genetic freak, for most of us, you havent done shit in the gym unless you've been there full time for 2.5 years straight. I think thats around the time when you start to not just look like you've been working out abit, but actually start to look like you're serious about it. That will be next Spring/Summer for me. Im interested to see what happens. I mean, how many real big body builders or power lifters do you see in their 20s? Theres a few who started as teens, but the majority of big guys are in their mid 30s.
