OK, but this is not really a fact. If it were we'd all stop working out and sit around watching our muscles grow. Wouldn't that be nice (Hey Todd and Most Muscle - good news, you can take it easy now, you've been doing it all backwards!)

When a person stops working out the muscle continue to grows and since it's not being torn down by exercise, it grows faster.
Anyways it's good to see your journal!

I'm not saying they are growing forever nor am I saying they are getting stronger. I am saying the muscles are repairing damage and "growing" for a time period after you workout.
My skin fold calipers say the fat on my thigh stayed the same, give or take a few milimeters. Can't argue with that. And such there wasn't much fat added, and the thigh got bigger, muscle is what's left. You can't argue with facts.
