    Going three times a week is better (assuming you’re weightlifting and increasing the load progressively) but you might also need to lower your body fat. You can be hella ripped but if your body fat is above a certain percentage the muscles won’t show through. It takes time and discipline. Though sustaining very low body fat levels is unhealthy, and some super ripped folks are also very dehydrated. It’s not something you want to sustain long term.

      I’m actually only trying to lower body fat, I’m not that interested in getting abs, and yeah time and discipline is right 😭 been going at it for two years now and while I look better than before, I still long for the perfect twink body I had in my early 20s before my damn metabolism betrayed me.
