So when I workout, usually I feel a consistent fullness in my muscles.
However, there are times when, after working out, if it was a 'bad' workout, I actually feel worse, sometimes much worse, in terms of size, fullness, pump then before I worked out.
Like if I have a workout where I lack the mind muscle connection, or where maybe I don't push myself as much as I need to, or maybe I am tired, I can tell right during the workout it's going to be a crappy pump afterwards. Within an hour I notice it, and it gets progressively worse as the day goes on. The next morning when I wake up, I feel fine.
This drives me nuts, first I can't really pimpoint the best way to describe what I am feeling and what is going on besides how I did here, but second, it makes no sense that basically, working out, makes me feel worse in terms of size and fullness then if I sat on my ass on the couch all day.
What is going on? It seems paradoxical. Is it something to do with glycogen?
