What determines how much your muscles increase in size when pumped vs cold. What are the factors involved, and is it similar for every person or does it vary greatly?
I feel with myself that there is a big difference in physical size when pumped vs cold. After training my upperbody and looking in the mirror straight after I look a darn site bigger then when I'm cold. It would be nice to try and maintain some of that pumped size when cold, is it possible? Is this where creatine may help?
I thought it was only creatine monohydrate that made you hold water. I was under the impression that creatine ester's and malate don't make you hold a lot of water like monohydrates.

I don't get what that has to do with what I just said. I only stated that I was of belief that creatine monohydrates make you hold water but esters and malate don't so much.
I beleive the beauty of Mono is the extra water retention, this is what increases strength.
Also Ester bonded creatine has been debunked. I can't believe anyone would still buy this. as for the Malate, I don't think there is enough scientific backing.
