How long did it take you to reach your designated size?

Most of the people here are not the size they want to be yet. Including myself.
Well i'm somewhat close to celebrating my 2 year lifting anniversary and i'm not really close to reaching my goal, so 2+ years for me.
ya i know that most people havent reached their goals yet but i just wanted to get a good idea of how long it will usually take for me to get where i want to be...and it seems like its going to take a lot longer than i thought considering this is only my third week.
:/
:/
I'll let you know when i get there. The best I was at was 172 9% b/f that took me
me about 18months.
me about 18months.
I have seen a few people far more intelligent than I estimate that if everything were done close to perfect, 3-5 years would be a good estimate of how long it would take to get near your genetic potential in terms of muscle growth (starting roughly as a beginner).
im still on my way, but once i figured out how to gain weight i put on 40 lbs in 10 months. the massive muscle growth contributed to seperating my clavicle at the sternum but i know how to avoid that mistake now

i dont think anyone will ever be happy with their size in every aspect as there will allways in their eyes improvement needed, and it is that which drives us on and keeps us training

I'm going on 2 years now. 70lbs gained, 55lbs of muscle. I want another 20lbs in the right areas to and cut bodyfat from 13% to 8%. I'm sure I will never be quite happy.

you have a 26" neck ? I know guys who are 300+ and under 6' who don't come close to that.
are you kiddin go pro? I'd kill for a body like that!
i would need a lot of steroids and years to reach my designated zone...
26 inch neck? Riiiight
Not there yet. I don't think anyone here has a "designated" size.
As opposed to setting a time limit for reaching a certain point, look at yourself in the mirror. If you're happy, try and maintain. If not, keep your diet clean and get your @$$ in the gym. One of the most important aspects of this sport is PATIENCE. Without it, you will easliy become discouraged or find yourself doing something really stupid to reach your goal.
