Thanks for answering guys, it's appreciated.
I'll make a couple of comments.
1: I haven't added the back routine into my program yet, but was thinking about doing so. Now, I think I'll wait as it makes sense not to do it. The muscles in my back are probably getting enough amount of work as it is.
2: I have taken days off in between exercising. Again, the above is not a set schedule; but more like a routine that I would like to follow. I have gone two days in between exercises; because I knew that overdoing it is not an option.
3: I'm trying to eat as much, as possible within the guidelines I've read for what I need. 5-7 meals a day; but I'll be honest... I'm never that hungry.
4: I have been drinking protein shakes mixed with bananas and strawberries for the past week. I have three during the day. One in the morning, one in the early afternoon, and the last one after working out.
My arms are bigger... I can tell you that for sure. My chest on the other hand hasn't shown much improvement, but at three weeks in, I'm not worried about it.
I'm feeling great and stronger. After the fourth week of lifting, I'm going to take a full week off to rest everything. I feel like that's a mini-goal in itself.
Anyone else want to give some advice?
