A member asked:

Can you tell me about bodybuilding.. i gained 0.8 inches of biceps in 10 days.. no steroid or protein?

Beginner's gain: This is to be expected. When you start lifting, you'll have measurable gains in the first two weeks. The measuring techniques invite some variability but I hope you're pleased with your progress. Best is 3 sets of 10 reps of the most you can manage 3-4x/week. Keep it up, eat sensibly, avoid steroids and have fun.
