You must have a low bf%. I have a lot of bodyfat (around 15-17% now) and directly after training I look big and swollen. After a few days without training I think I look more defined and BIGGER than I look directly after training.

I have always felt the same way. I figured it was because if you are working a certain bodypart, its filling up with blood, etc. getting bigger, after time it'll go away and all that blood will leave.

I feel I look much leaner, I can see some separation between my muscles. Directly after training I look smooth as hell. BIG, but smooth.

I do cardio after every workout because I have enough muscle to spare.

I am not using anything at the moment. I was on a clen /t3 cycle a few months ago.

i know what u mean, i start to feel sloppy if i dont train for like a week. i went to europe a few weeks back for about a week and felt like i looked like shit by the end of the week. couldnt wait to get back in the gym.

I love the feeling of being pumped after a workout, but the next 2 or 3 days are bad, I look at my arms all the time thinking that there getting smaller, but without doubt, on the 3 or 4th day, when I work the again, there bigger and more diffined. Workouts do all kinda wierd this to me, but as long as im better of in the end than I was when I started, im happy

Do you look at your arms all the time in the mirror? I'd have to say yes! Does it to me too. I can't stay out of the mirror! ha I feel like I lose some size after a few days off... let the tape be the truth, not your eyes. You also have to account for water loss.. which on the days off I tend to slack on water and protien intake...
