I’ve gained probably 10 pounds of non-muscle to be sure, but The Best Friend, having not seen me for a year, noted that my chest and shoulders seemed a bit broader.
Playfully punching me in the arm later on, she noted the fact that the arm she punched was a tiny bit bigger and more muscular than, well, anytime she’s punched me in the arm in the past 15+ years.
I’ll try not to let it go to my head, but given that most days it sure doesn’t feel like the effort is having any effect, it’s somewhat gratifying to know that all the work and sweat at the gym might be doing a wee bit of good after all…

Good job!
They say I’m getting bigger too. Unfortunately it’s around the waist and not around my chest or biceps.
