It took me around 7 months but I didn't train for it. I was just doing 3 sets with 15 kg, then 20 kg, then 25 kg, then 30 kg, then 35 kg and finally 40 kg. Though I wasn't able to do even 3 sets of 5 with 40 kg. It was more like 6, 4, 3 with 3-4 minutes rest. My program was 3 heavy sets and 2-3 bodyweight(usually 2). I was doiing upper-lower every 4-5 days. Also I was resting 3-4 minutes while doing weighted and 1-2 minutes for bodyweight.
You can reach your genetic potential with bodyweight. Why possibly hurt yourself with heavy weight.
