You think 6kg of lean mass in 5 months isn't stellar performance? I'd very much like to see visual evidence of this transformation, mate, because I think your gym instructor is talking quite a lot of bollocks |
To be fair, I'd only say "stellar performance" to a transformation that took me from sumo wrestler to Tokyo 2020 world athlete and spent my whole day training like an Olympian 
As for me, maybe you're right, but there's a bit of context I left out for brevity's sake. The first is I used to be quite shredded before, so muscle memory may have played a part. Also, I've gone from 10% body fat to 30% in 5 years (2010-2015), courtesy of a Morton's neuroma that stopped me from jogging at first and gallons of Coca-cola refills I drank at steakhouses as I wrote my thesis, which turned me into a rotund ball of lard. Last year, however, I decided to make a change. I've been cycling to work (13 kilometres/day) for a year now and, because I felt progress stalled, I joined a gym in July.
Here's the thing, I'm now supposed to be down to 23% body fat. When I look at myself in the mirror, it shows. I see the muscles from the chest up, but I still have the caloric bumbag to take care of around my waist... So it makes some sense. As for the pictures, I don't really have a before picture to show, so I'm not sure it'll be of any help

I been going to the gym this year for the past 5 months now, had to take a little break in between the third month, but have hit it hard again for the last two. I've actually gained 6 pounds more but I'm going for strength and size training so things are still heading where I want them too. I also make sure to do some cardio along with the weights and while it hasn't shrunk my stomach that much, I'm pleased that at least some of my neck fat went away. But yeah, still got a ways to go to reach my goals. Now that my body's gotten accustomed to it, don't need to baby myself much anymore. |
Hear, hear! These breaks are always disheartening, but the results (like the neck fat going away), always make the hard work worth it 
And, yeah, I've been doing some cardio, and dare I say, bro, I even lift
