Newish to lifting weights and gym workouts since the fall. My arm muscles have definitely grown. They look bigger when I flex, and they feel weird rubbing against my side. It's actually kind of annoying.
Is that weird? Will I get used to it? Also they are firm but make me look heavier. I like being strong so I don't want to complain, it's just weird to get used to after decades of smaller arms. I guess bulky beats out smaller but flabbier. Anyone else? |
That's probably something you'll get used to. |
Give it a little more time. You are probably just feeling different so it feels uncomfortable. My clothes get tighter in the arms, but your arms likely look better. Over time,your muscles will get more defined. |
Thank you for the reassurance. Currently my arms look worse in photos, but I'll hold out hope. |
