I am not suggesting that my arm/muscle strength is weaker, but what I am suggesting is that when bloated 1) the stomach is inflated/larger and 2) the muscle SIZE is smaller and feels more flabby.
Summary: When bloated the stomach is fat and the muscles look smaller and feel flabby. When not bloated, the stomach is thinner and the muscles look bigger and more filled out+feel more solid.
1) Do you or anybody here, experience this? 2) Do you have an explanation for why this occurs?
Something else I notice. Suppose I go to the gym to workout. 1 of 2 things happen. I have a good workout, a feel a "pump" in my muscles. I look and feel stronger. OR I have a crappy workout, I get no "pump" and my muscles actually look smaller, flabby, weaker and my stomach feels more bloated. Again....have any of you experienced it were working out actually makes you LOOK and feel WORSE than before? It feels like, if I don't get a good workout with a pump I end up feeling worse off, with smaller muscles, and a more bloated gut.
3) Have you had this happen? 4) Any explanation? -Possible that a medicore workout brings in more gas?
