Yes the title is absolutely 100% full of crap, yet have a look at the majority of main stream lifting sites and there is always some variation on this theme: getting x result in x amount of time.
But my question is, what is the fucking hurry?? In fact it's the preoccupation with haste in most peoples programming that dooms them to failure.
Lets take gaining muscle as an example.So many natural guys over estimate their capacity for pure muscle gain. Though much of this has to do with the years of ridiculous hype in muscle mags and the like I cannot tell you the amount of times I have listened to some fat fuck at about 30% body fat tell me how huge he is going to be.
Let there be no equivocation for the genetically average who don't use drugs there is a reasonably predictable limit to what you can achieve based on bone measurements and a cursory review of some of the earlier champions in the game.
There is a famous study that reviewed this in detail and many sites that discuss the results, refer to the link here for a good discussion on the topic.

For those of you seeking to gain size reviewing these limits is useful to put into perspective the yearly gains in pure muscle that can be achieved.
As in all things related to training patience and consistent small gains will deliver results over time.
Stay Strong
