    My wife always seems to like my arms after lifting, but the first time I went, "huh..." when looking in the mirror was a month or so ago and I noticed I'm starting to get a little definition in my chest. Not great, yet - but better than it was.

    And while it's not definition, my shoulders look a bit wider than my waist now, although I'm not sure what exactly has changed. Time for measurements this weekend!

    Triceps and shoulders. I just need to look at a weight for my triceps to grow!

    I wish I had this problem....Chest and Back are my genetic strength....arms and legs are a weakness (except calves, which are decent).

    after 4 years of cardio not making my tummy go away - now i have sexy lines and it only took about 6 weeks of lifting one lift (DL) once a week.

    Dead lifts ARE killer. between those and my pull ups, My "V" is crazy sore after a lifting bout.

    I've only been lifting for about 4 months. My arms are more defined, and my biceps are bigger. My rear end is higher. That's the only thing I can see, other than the fact that I've clearly lost fat in my torso (I have an hourglass shape again), and I am wearing smaller jeans.

    Triceps, (they grow faster than any other muscle for me)
    Shoulders
    Biceps
    Back
    Chest
    Lats
    I may have abs now but I still have a little spare tire in the way. My major goal for 2013 is to see my abs.

    I do all lifting with dumbbells and my own body weight.

    I would say in my leg.... my third leg. :laugh: Also I have noticed since I started lifting that a lot of women just love a buff kinda man! :wink: :drinker:

    Thank you for posting this - definitely helpful. I haven't even been lifting a full month yet, but I'm starting to notice a difference in my arms already.

    oh wait, I lied, the first place I noticed a change was my attitude.

    Yep. I was wrong, too.

    I already have muscular calves, so my arms were the first place I really noticed a change.
