Hey guys this might sound kind of noobish but I wanna know if other people are having these issues as well. I start with my pre-workout (Assault creatine) when I am lifting my upper body (pecs, triceps, bi's), after my workout I feel great. My muscles are really big (like they are swollen) and I assume this is because of the hard work I put them through. But anyway, they are really tight and stiff like they should be and I take my post workout shake (Sytha-6). After about an hour my muscles shrink down to normal size and I have not been seeing the increase in muscles like I would like and I have been doing this for about 3 months now. I mean my strength has been increasing but my muscles just aren't getting bigger how I would like them to. I take rest days like I should and I am consuming at least 1.5 gallons a day of water but I am not seeing any improvements. Is anyone else having these issues and is there anything that I really can do about it?

No not at all. I am active in the army so that may have something to do with it but other than that ive been the same size since I graduated high school. Like I said my strength has been increasing very steady and I haven't hit a plain yet that I couldn't get over, my muscles just aren't increasing as much as I thought they would. Plus high metabolism runs in the family so I am starting to think this is a major catalyst in this issue.

Don't just assume you're taking in 4,000 kcal, count all of it and then get back to us. There are websites that can help you with this, like My Fitness Pal or swole.me. Objective measurements are always better than just hazarding a guess, and this includes muscle size - maybe you should bust out the tape measure.
If you genuinely have a high metabolism, then you just need to eat even more. If you're staying the same weight with what you're eating, then add another 500 kcal and see how it works for you.
