I noticed that I am building a very visible amount of muscle in my arms and upper chest area. I have not been lifting weights or anything, where is this muscle coming from?

Muscles do not actually appear out of nowhere. They are developed through a process called muscle hypertrophy, where the muscle fibers increase in size and number. This can happen through regular exercise and proper nutrition.
No, muscles cannot grow overnight. Muscle growth is a gradual process that requires consistent and proper training and nutrition over a period of time.
No, muscles do not suddenly disappear. However, they can decrease in size and strength if they are not being used or if there is a lack of proper nutrition. This is known as muscle atrophy.
The concept of "muscles out of nowhere" is often used as a metaphor for sudden and significant muscle growth. However, as mentioned before, muscles do not actually appear out of nowhere. They are developed through consistent exercise and nutrition.
The time it takes to see noticeable muscle growth varies from person to person. It depends on factors such as genetics, training intensity, and nutrition. Generally, it takes a few weeks to a few months to see significant changes in muscle size and strength.
