Does anyone else see a weight gain the day after weight training? maybe water retention?

    I know your muscles retain water as they heal so that's probably why.

    omg! this post was so timely!! i have been freaking out over a 6lb weight gain in the past 3 days!!! I have eaten no different, but have been doing weights daily for the past month...could it "all of a sudden" cause weight gain? I know muscle weighs more than fat...but this is ridiculous. I tried to drink more water today...is that the right thing to do?? i feel a little better!!
