Realistic gains
Hello,
I know there have been similar topics and I have read them however I don’t quite understand a thing.
The number 2 inches often appears. I don’t quite understand if this is an increment that would be borderline for most normal people? Or is this the maximum increment dreamed up for most?
Of course, everyone is different, and unless you test it on yourself, no one can answer the question of what increments are possible for a person.
I am a newbie myself. I have been training since November 25.
I start with 17cm (6.69 inches) from the top without pressing and 14cm (5.5 inches) of girth. I have set myself a long-term goal of 3-4cm (1.25-1.65 inches) Of which I would like to gain the first 2cm (0.8 inches) in a year, thanks to the newbie gains I read about here.
Before reading the forum, my goals seemed too ambitious. Especially as much as 2cm in the first year seemed unrealistic to me. Now I don’t know if they are realistic myself by reading various threads on the forum.
Is the oft-talked-about 2 inches of growth some kind of limit to the possibilities of most? Or a dream of the majority that is achieved by a few?
Are my goals of around 1.25-1.65 inches realistic? And the first 0.8 inches in a year as well?
