How Long does muscle swelling last

[littleguy123]

After you workout a specific area like biceps or triceps the days following it my muscle swells does this happen to anyone else and how long does it usually last?

Swells? Do you mean soreness? It depends, when I train my bicep's the next day they are really sore and it usually lasts for a few more days.

for some unkown reason my biceps dont hurt ( and i do train them hard for all you smart arses out there :P)but i have never seen them swell :|

If your muscles arent sore and don't feel the burn then you aren't isolating the specific muscle, you are either useing weight that is too light for a chick or either too much weight which means your body will bring in other muscle groups to help lift the weight.
Isolation is the Key.

I thought its only sore if your just starting?

I don't feel any soreness or anything after, just tiredness

maybe you are talking about the pump, kinda like swelled up. My pumps last for a half hour after Im doing working out. I think, not really sure, you get used to the feeling and don't realize when its gone.

Sorness does not mean ANYTHING (meaning it does not mean that the muscle group was worked hard or not). if you wanna know that u've worked your muscles good>> then see if u gained anything on the next workout (reps, more weight). and you can be the judge, can you walk right out of the gym after a leg day, yes>> you are a pussy bbuilder . no>> you've done your job

None of my muscles feel sore after a workout.....except triceps....

When im doign triceps they tend to get extremely hard and it makes it harder to lock the arm on reps.......

Hmmm...at first I thought you meant pump. But then you said "the days following it..." so it couldn't be since pump only lasts maybe 30-45 mins at the most following your workout.

You've got me confused here.

He's talking about the swelling of muscles from being sore. Case in point, right now my legs are quite swollen because they're so sore from my leg workout on Friday. It's not a pump; they're just... swollen is the best word I can think of. And for me it usually lasts until my muscle isn't sore anymore.
