Working out for 4 months, consecutively! Seen major improvements in the lifts, but not necessarily in overall resting body physique.

Hi guys,

Preface: After a break up in December that left me a shell of the man I used to be, I decided to quit bitchin' and bring back that aggression latently inside of me via weightlifting. I've been lifting for 4 years on and off but this is the first time I've done it consistently and with a solid diet. Boy, has it been great. Now, I lift because it's kind of an addiction. But here's the thing--

While I've seen major developments inside the gym with fat loss, have increased weight steadily in all of my major and accessory exercises, and while I feel huge as fuck when lifting, I don't necessarily feel like my gains have translated to feeling naturally big while resting. When I take a rest day or a Saturday/Sunday off to recuperate, I don't think I look or feel much bigger although my progress in the gym would say otherwise. Even when my friends who haven't seen me in a while catch up with me, they tell me I've gotten bigger but I seriously don't feel it.

Idk. Wondering if this is a common phenomenon?
