Huge difference in size before and after workout! Any idea why?

[abbyanish]

Hey guys!

I would like to clear something up and I hope someone on this forum might clear that for me.

I have been working for about 4-5 years now. Recently I have noticed and people have been giving comments that I look extremely huge once I'm into half way of my workout but when I enter the gym I look slim. And even I can see that, the difference is very very huge. I'm not taking any supplements apart from Whey protein (ON Soy 100%). If I were taking l-arginine granules or supplements this possibility can be expected, but the last time I took a intraworkout or a BCAA's was 2 months ago (BSN AminoX). Can glycogen be a cause of this? Any help is appreciated

What can I do to maintain my size while I'm not working out? I'm not asking any tips to hold onto my pump but what causes that huge change in volume before and during/after my workout?

Thanks a lot

It's just blood. Plain and simple. You can't hold onto it. It should go away naturally after the workout is over.

LOL
Same thing happens to me.
I HATE IT

When I work out, I get swollen and look big.....

Then about 2 hrs later, I look like I have never touched a weight in my life.
