Building Muscle...

I feel like i am building muscle but it looks like i am building it over fat? Is this possible? I feel like I look toned but larger then before... My arms look bigger... Any comments?

However, give it time, as when the body changes, it sometimes does so in what looks like a negative way before the positives show. You should be able to do both in the beginning. I know it sounds odd, but in the beginning it is quite possible to "appear" to be gaining before the results you are looking for show. -------------- Strength and Honor!
