NSV - I hate to sound conceded...

...but I was looking in the mirror tonight after a shower and said "what the hell?" and flexed where I imagine a bicep should be. I have done this a few times, always hoping to see some semblance of a muscle and always feeling like I'm not doing enough.

Tonight, however, I saw one. I have an honest-to-God bicep. It's not huge or well defined but, dammit, it's mine.

*Turns out I have another one on the other arm... who knew?

    First of all, congratulations.

    Secondly, I normally don't comment on things like this, but you should concede that you meant conceited.

    Great NSV, no worries man we all do it. My first NSV was when I realized I was losing my moobs and finding my chin. :bigsmile:

    i know what you mean. it's weird, ay, getting random body parts popping out that were never there before.

    i have recently discovered that i have actual hip bones- real ones. and i have spent years assuming that i have no real skeleton.

    but that's awesome! well done on real life muscles :-)
