    You'll probably see some weight gain from water weight.

    Will drinking more water flush it or will the muscles hold on to it regardless for a little bit? Sorry to hijack your post op!

    If you stay in a calorie deficit, yes. Each time you lift heavier or differently you will experience this temporary water gain as the stressed muscles use water for repair.

    Thank you for that answer. Really helpful.

    Lifting weights does nothing in and of itself to your bodyweight, it's what you put in your body (calories) that effects your weight.
