I’ve been doing weightlifting 5-6 days a week for 14 months now and progress has been very slow, so my metabolic rate hasn’t budged all that much. But if you’re lucky and can progress faster then its a valid strategy.
It took me about 5 years. Again, I don’t think it’s a useful approach if you don’t like exercising in the first place; for me 5 years of resistance training has felt less like a weight-loss strategy and more like an excuse to have fun chasing goals and make like-minded friends along the way.
