Building noticeable muscle as a girl takes time for sure. Don't get discouraged if you aren't seeing big changes yet after a few weeks. Here's some tips:

- Focus on compound lifts that work multiple muscles at once, like squats, deadlifts, weighted lunges. These will trigger more growth.

- Up the weight and lower the reps over time. Start higher reps and lower weight to get the movements down, then go heavier for 5-8 reps.

- Make sure you're eating enough protein - aim for 0.7-1g per pound of body weight daily. Protein helps your muscles recover and grow.

- Give it at least 3 months of consistency before you judge results. Building muscle is a marathon not a sprint. Stick with it!

- Take progress pics and measurements every 4-6 weeks. You'll see changes in the mirror before the scale.

- Supplements like creatine can also help you push harder and build faster.

Keep challenging yourself in the weight room and have patience - within 6 months I bet you'll start really filling out. You got this sis! Lmk if you have any other questions.

Unless you're taking supliments (don't they will really mess you up, like bad) it's very hard for a natural, genetic, biological woman to build muscle rapidly. It's almost as if women are biologically supposed to be feminine.

It depends on how you exercise and what you eat. To build muscle, you have to exercise medium heavy and train a muscle to fatigue. You have to spread protein intake (natural or via supplements) over 5-6 takes a day with some 3 h interval. Your body can only process a certain amount of protein. All the rest is lost via the kidneys.

what weights do you use to train? And what is your weight? Any idea on present muscle/fat ratio?
