Do you think by 30 I could have a really good body?

[Anonymous]

I’m 27.5 years old. I’m already fit and in shape. Is 2.5 years enough to build good muscle and get chiselled abs

Yes you can do that

You’re too old

It’s hard to achieve in that time frame

I’m also above 6 foot with long arms and limbs so it takes longer I think to build mass.

So long as you eat and put in the work, the muscle will develop in time. As to abs, that's really just about cutting fat to very low levels like an anorexic girl. You can get strong core muscles by working out, but they aren't going to all that be visible until you cut... Body builders for example typically have like 3-4% body fat. Mesomorphs will pack on muscle easier and ectomorphs will cat easier. Depending on your genetics, you will have different struggles to reach your stated goal.

I cut easier as I’m an ectomor but struggle to build quick enough

Well then it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Just create a routine to hit all core mussels and do it 3-4 times a week every week using added weight via machines and aim to drop 1-2% of your body fat per month. It should be easy to obtain over 2.5 years. That's 30 months. So even if you are cutting 1% per month and are 30%+ body fat you'll get there eventually.

It's going to be trial & error most likely for you until you learn how your body works and reacts to the things you do.

it depends on your genes. Somen can get ripped really quick while others struggle with it. I know some men who can get ripped in 3-4 months while others can't do it no matter how much they try.

I know I struggle to put on mass quickly.

Ask guys, as they are the only ones that care about these insecurities you have.
