no pump with carbs

[IsItTooLateToMaxx]

before i ask, this is NOT a post to trash on carbs, i am NOT saying anything bad about carbs!

everyone glorifies carbs for good gym pumps and full muscles, however it’s the complete opposite for me from what i noticed. carbs pre workout, i look semi bloated, soft, lower muscle definition. even after just a regular carb heavy meal. however, lemme eat high fat/ high protein, my muscles look pumped, full, im lean, even if i didn’t workout. anyone have a possible explanation? again im not trashing carbs, maybe im just not utilizing them correctly?

anyone with good gym/nutrition knowledge please lmk
