It takes 3-5 weeks to build new muscle. Early gains are from efficiency in movement that your nervous system picks up. When you start just be consistent not a killer. Make sure you get 1g of protein per lb of lean body weight and let those muscles grow.
Look up "RPE scale for weight lifting". Early lifting should be RPE 6-7
