Hey guys, I have been wondering for a long time now about why the days after I lift when I am the most sore my muscles also feel the strongest. I cant push the same weight when I'm in the recovery period but whatever group I used feels so full and strong when I flex. Especially my back, I am still fairly new to lifting, going on a year and a half now, but the couple days after I do back its kind of cool cause I look in the mirror at my back and I can see all my muscles bunched up and full. Is it that they are filled with blood trying to heal themselves or what? thanks for any clues as to why this is, as you guys are the only people I "know" regarding lifting.
