After working out, I look pumped up, and look noticibly better, esp. my pecs. Is ther any way to maintain this pumped up look. After deflation, I can't help but feel cheated. Also, how long does it take for your body to acclimate its normal size to the pump size? In other words, If my chest is 20 inches normal and 21 inches pumped, when will it become 21 inches normal?

Sorry, but that is not attainable. (Keeping a pump). WE all wish we could, enjoy it while you have it! No matter what size your chest/bodypart, when pumped it will look bigger. Gorged with blood. When that blood dissapates, so does the pump. Don't fall for the NO2 hype, that doesn't work.
