Still getting some memory from my muscles. My outer upper arm is getting a protruding muscle which is pretty nice, trying like heck to build my bicep, it's seems to be a challenge.

Not just protein right? Make sure you are eating healthy fats too. Carbs & Fats are your energy providers and if one is low, then don't skimp out on the other, or vice versa. Lower carb will tend to dry you out faster as you will lose a lot of water weight first. Lower fat tends to preserve a bit more muscle since insulin will be high(er) with the carbs. Insulin is one of the bodys most anabolic hormones, but can be a double edged sword.
