Muscle Repair

[Shikkaka]

Hi guys,

One thing I've noticed is after a session at the gym I'm all pumped up then obviously the muscles go back to there normal state then they seem to shrink every so slightly making my arms just feel like fat and no muslce. Its really weird. Is this part of the repairing process or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers

Its because you pump blood into the muscle and your only going to maintain the pump for so long. If you want your muscles to look like that all the time you have to increase your muscular size.

Don't think you understood what I mean't. I expect them to decrease back to original size after a work out but then they seem to shrink further and go more flabby than solid.

Morba - I used to have a protein shake within 10 minutes then food within the hour but I've recently cut out the protein shake, could cutting this out be the reason?
