Been weight lifting consistently for the past two months and my arms look amazing post-workout. As soon as I turn the corner, they go back to looking exactly how they did before I hit the gym. How long did it take for your muscle definition to stick around for longer than 5 mins?

As you lower your overall body fat, your muscle definition will increase. The percentage at which muscle is visible will vary for everyone, since everyone caries fat differently and has a different amount of lean mass.1

Definition & pump are two entirely different things.6

Thanks Cassandraw3! That's exactly what I was asking about. Getting them to "show" but also look as big? as they do during a workout.0
