    It's because you have a pump on your workout day. The day after, you no longer have the pump.

    That and the day after is when a large majority of the repairs to your muscles takes place, so they don't appear as full because they've just undergone extensive trauma and are, frankly, not as big. Atleast in my common sense broscience world, someone come along and correct me if I'm wrong.

    Your muscle size improves due to micro muscle tears + repairs.

    You workout -> You "tear" the muscle, making it smaller -> Next day, your muscles are repairing themselves -> After fully repaired, they'll be the same size or larger.

    You are correct in your observations, muscles do appear smaller than the day of workout . This is normal as muscles repair only when resting .
