Be careful. Lots of people get slap tears from weightlifting. I have one from a car accident - constant pain in my neck, right shoulder and arm. Requires surgery. 

Been lifting heavy for 18 years, no slap tears, lol. Lifting with proper form is a far cry from a car accident. No need to instill fear... 

As far as frequency, I say hit each muscle twice a week at least. If your muscles are ready to go again for 4 days, you are not training often enough. High-frequency moderate volume. Gains. Newb gains are the best. Sometimes I wish I could go back to experience that again. You feel as if they will never slow down and then they do. :( 

Great job! All that hard work is paying off 👍👍💪🏻💪🏻 

👏🏻gorgeous 

Damn! Lookin good. You are killin it! I need to start working out again! 

Very cool...looking good ADWS!! 

Yep those are def not even close to "little boy arms"! 

Definitely not little boy arms there! The joy of being male is you can work out and make such a huge change. 

@Diablo360x, @chrisw77 - Thanks for the important info. I have been reading up and everyone talks about the 'newbie gain'. So yeah I'm gonna just enjoy the easy win but realize it for what it is :) I also know I need to join a gym when I get back from vacation because leangains progressive overload says I'm suppose to loading up the plates... 

@chesgreen - Yeah I am committed to OMAD. During the day it allows me to feel the joys of fasting. This is my 'normal' feeling. Also, because of the whole 'rest and repair period' I am now only running on Sundays. Today I am only allowing myself a really long walk :( One huge thing that I am looking forward to when I get back to cutting is being able to run as much as I darn want to :) Right now my lifting is 3 days a week. What @Diablo360x says about hitting the muscle groups is in line with everything I have read so far. 

Wow ! you are doing great, Congratulations 💪💪

Whoa, you look swole, brother.  

Fcuk Yeah! Let's go, baby!  

Looks good man! Especially the back side of your upper arm. 

Dang! 

Gee man, I had no idea you looked that good. Your posts made me think you were bony. Keep it up, and keep your mind straight. Definitely a different mindset than just trying to lose. Good work! 

@TomLong - I wish I took better pictures, but when I was 163 (just a week ago!) my arms looked almost half the size they are now. My wife @PrincessValerie kept complaining that I looked 'too thin'. Now, lets assume we are also seeing 'fat' as well as muscle growth to account for the huge difference, well, it still looks a LOT better haha
