do your muscles shrink directly after exercise

[Kunegochu]

if so why does this hapen

[Namus]

not sure what you mean exactly by 'shrink', but I think the the answer is yes;

This is due to the fact that you are not using your muscles any more (or as heavily) so blood flow to the area (i.e. muscles) is decreased, consequently leading to smaller muscles (or the appearance of smaller muscles)/less vascularity

If your talking about the Pump you get disappearing then yes it does go away the reason for this is your blood stops being congested in that area.

"The Pump" is the tight, blood-congested feeling in a muscle after it has been intensely trained. Muscle pump is caused by a rapid influx of blood into the muscles to remove fatigue toxins and replace supplies of fuel and oxygen. A good muscle pump indicates that you have optimally worked a muscle group.

Glycogen depletion, fluid loss, vasoconstriction/ loss of massive vasodilation among others.

There's no better feeling that jumping in the shower after a workout and soaping up my inflated bulges (no homo).

Make sure your post-workout meal is sufficient and whole.

20oz. water, 3 scoops of Torrent, and 1.5 hours later a 4 oz chicken breast FTW!

I notice this pump also happens at times when its hot. You don't even have to be workingout but you do look pump. Why would this happen?

Heat can lead to vasodilation.

mine last for a day

I'm pretty sure you are talking about the pump you get while working out.
For me it goes away after a few hours of not working out.

[IronJones]

Ok cool 'vasodilation'.

I guess the more heat in the room ur working in would lead to bigger pumps too!

My pumps last for around 30mins.
