Weight gain day after workout session

hanymamdouh · June 2015

Hi, I'm noticing increase in weight the day after intensive workout (weight lifting session) of about 2 kgs, especially for legs workouts (deadlifts or squats). I also notice feel bloated and cloths don't fit well and become tighter around thighs and waistlines. Is it normal?

This happens to me everytime I do my lower body, the weight evens out after a day or so, or when you dont feel the aches. Its just water weight cushioning your muscles.

Water weight......I gained 4lbs after running an Olympic duathon, it`s all part of the repair process.

I did a 10 mile hike/obstacle course on a mountain, and I gained 2 lbs... it went away after a few days, just keep eating properly, drinking lots of water and and logging it all. ;-) you're doing great! :-D
Friend me if u want, we'll encourage each other;-)

I gain 3-5 pounds after Spartan Races. For the tougher races I starting gaining right before the race with the extra sodium and water intake. Within a week after the race I am back down with no extra effort. Of course I've been racing so much lately as soon as I'm down I start going back up again....*sigh*

I took two hour long Capoeira sessions back to back and now I weigh 2 pounds more. Water weight, as others have already said; I'm just commiserating. Lol
