As the title says all, I joined gym with almost no stamina and have gained over an inch in Bicep.

My current bicep is 12 inch as measured. Previously it was around 10 and a half.

Any good?

Have been a little irregular due to bad GYM as they close it on any day. Changing gym soon.

Depends...

Is it fat? Muscle? Some water retention? With no other body measurements, it could be just as bad as it could be good.

In the end, this is a good thing. However, I believe the increase is sarcoplasmic - superficial muscle if you will. I don't like the term, as it does have a purpose (can hold more glycogen, for example) - Still, if you quit working out, you would drop back down to your normal sized arms. It may take month or two, but they would return to normal size as you haven't been lifting long enough to have gained any true size to the muscle.

When people talking about losing LBM or gaining it (especially in relation to a cut) take little stock in that. While technically LBM is anything not fat, most people seem to think it means muscle. That really isn't the case. One can almost always assume that 10 pounds of lean mass in either direction isn't a true loss or gain and is based primarily around training and eating habits, which, if changed, will also change your lean mass weight.

That said the bicep itself can't be measured with a tape measure... I think you mean to say your arms have increased in size. You have a tricep component in there.

Keep lifting!

Yes, I am able to lift heavier weights(even in bench press). Have been observing strength gains.

Trying to eat right(with protein rich food). Let's see.

Thank you for the replies.

Have lost like 15 lbs ( 7 Kgs) already. On the way to gain ideal body weight for my height.

Then I would say that an inch gain on your arms (not biceps necessarily like others said) while having lost 15lb is a good thing.

Keep at it.
