hmm, couple of things, water filling out the muscle or the extra calorie intake has given your body a boost. The same way when you're dieting it's good to have your calories up and down and not set at one figure so your body doesn't go into starvation mode.....that in reverse. I'm sure there's a spiffy word for it.

What were your sugar/hydration/creatine levels like during training? If you've been burning them off/not taking them in to make weight then as soon as you stop training they're going to build back up within the muscles again.

Your muscles look bigger when they are hydrated/full of glycogen.

I see,
I knew it was far too much a gain for it just to be water.
