How fast does your body build muscle?

My scale says that I picked up 3kg’s over the past week or so. I’ve been eating healthier and have been getting a LOT more exercise. 8 hours of rigourous caving on sunday. Now is this possibly weight or muscle and is it even possible to put on 3 kg’s (which is a hell of a lot) in about a week? My clothes don’t feel as tight, but it could be my imagination. Or maybe I need a new scale. (for those of you working in pounds it’s 3 X2.2 pounds)

Answer #1

Depends on how much you excersize and if your aiming for loosing weight for toning up. It also depends on the diet.

Answer #2

A few years back when i was regularly exercising very hard, i gained 5 kg’s within a month and it’s nice to gain perfect body shape without much of fat isn’t it? but one has to work very hard for that

Answer #3

There are honestly too many variables to give an accurate answer, but if you are working out, then you can pretty much guarantee that muscle starts to develop within a few days … with a rigorous exercise, it’s more than possible to put on 3kg in a week.
