cut and paste??????????


The "steroid pump" does have an actual physiological explanation. It is primarily due to the fact that there is more blood available in the body during a steroid cycle. One of the affects of anabolic steroid use is an increased production of RBC's (red blood cells).

That increases blood volume and greatly improves the oxygen carrying ability of blood. This increases the efficiency and endurance of skeletal muscle cells. A 200 pound lifter could carry an extra liter of blood during this time.

This increased blood volume partially explains why some athletes feel "pumped" all the time while they are on a steroid cycle. It also explains the incredible pump you get while working out at this time.

thanks mercy dog what about growth hormone does it increase rbc?????

I think increased blood pressure caused by steroids is another factor.

whenever I've had decent growth between workouts the pumps r nice, thats during all natural lifting.

i always heard roid users carried an extra liter of blood, so the veins will buldge because of this.
