Hey how are you. Ok so I just started taking my AP since yesterday and today that I woke up I felt that I had a little less definition on my shoulders, abs and chest. Does anabolic pump cause water retention due to the glycogen loading to the muscles causing more water to be attracked to the muscles since carbs attract water on the first days?
Has it happeed to anyone that is taking AP, how long does it last??
I have to add also that after I ended my cutting phase 1.5 weeks ago, I let my diet a little to much lose and all the past week I didn't eat clean. I skipped the gym some days and ate pizza, fried food, cake (a lot) due to my birthday and other 2 I attended, so I also lost some muscle. But from yesterday I'm back on track.
Here's a sample of my diet for you to critique while i'm taking AP (due to the amount of carbs) (I was on a 1600 cal diet on the cutting phase so I'm gradually increasing the cals from this week on)

Ok so my question is, is this diet okay for a lean mass building? I plan on adding recreate in 3 weeks or so. Is this diet ok for anabolic pump? Please critique as much as you want, willing to accept all comments in order to learn and build muscle.
Also, in reference to the first question, if AP has given you bloating, what to do?
