My general advice is to never set yourself visual goals and expectations. Social media has completely distorted the image of natural lifter by promoting top 1% responders and steroid abusers.
Accept the fact that you won’t see a lot of gains until 2-3 years into consistent lifting unless you’re genetically gifted. Focus on technique, nutrition and recovery and find a good rhythm that allows you to put gym into a background routine like brushing your teeth and your body will eventually reward you.
Setting yourself standards and expectations without knowing your genetic growth potential is a slippery slope that almost always results in misery and disappointment. Don’t do it. Keep lifting.
