Brief Answer:
Yes!

Detailed Answer:
HI,

Exercises are the best way to develop muscles. Am not surprised you have noticed some change in your muscles following this. This would probably suggest that you are doing so many exercises involving the chest and shoulders. There is no reason to worry about. Develop them as much as you can.

I wish you well.
