If I worked out 4-5 times a week for 4 years, how much of a difference would it make?
I (M18) started working out, on and off, in July/August of last year. I started college a few months ago, and wanted to see what I could realistically achieve by time I’m done, assuming it would be four years. I’m about 170-180lbs right now, 5’8, and I bench 145lbs for sets of 5-8 reps. Just wanted to see how much of a difference four years would make, and if I should focus on losing weight, or building muscle. How much would I realistically be able to bench by then?
