I'm 27, and have been working out 2-4 days a week for the last year. Last couple months I've been working out 4 days a week, which I intend to keep doing, keeping it strict and challenging.

I've always been a young looking skinny bastard, so this isn't for weight loss, I'm just curious how long it takes to get a built af looking body. Is this even possible for someone my age?

Unfortunately no. You missed the twilight years.

I see I was wasting my time.

Depends on your definition of ripped. Could be 3-6 months with a good routine and diet or several years. Yes it's possible at your age and judging from your post you just need to eat more than you currently are if you're skinny.

Im 28 and ripped tho

Awesome, ty for info. I went and browsed around a lot after I posted this, I was mainly concerned that muscle growth would become stunted late 20's - 30's due to a slower metabolism.



I saw your pic, similar builds, I've just been at it for a little longer. Keep it up!

you've got that nearly backwards - metabolism slows primarily as a result of letting your muscles atrophy

LOL

Don't worry about metabolism or testosterone levels. Just focus on finding a good routine and figure out the cals and macros for those calories (carbs/fat/prot) and you'll get the results you want.

Eat the bait, eat it all like a big girl
