Bananas And Back Pumps????

[kyjelly]

Ok, first, what exactly are back pumps and what causes them? Also, why the banana? How do bananas affect back pumps?

[Myka]

back pumps when your back gets pumped with blood and starts feel kind of hard...it can be painful/annoying...especially for very long...

I was unaware that bananas caused these

He is thinking bananas for the potassium. To reduce cramps I assumed. I really dont know the relation, but thats what I think he is referring to.

in a thread i can't seem to find, a few guys were saying that to reduce back pumps you should "drink lots of water and pound bananas"... water deep breathing works for me...

Well, this guy just told me, when he gets back pumps, he just eats a banana. lol and I got kinda lost. So Im just trying to clear up what exactly is going on.

Oh yeah, do steroid cause these back pumps? Or just working out?

Its the potassium in the banana he is referring to. Read up on the benefits of potassium and you can answer your question.

indirectly they have somthing to do with the back pump

[kyjelly]

So as soon as you feel one coming on, eat a banana? haha interesting...

[abstrack]

I have never benefited from eating a banana to cure a back pump immediately.
Why not just buy potassium pills and take it as a supplement to prevent back pumps if your so worried.

[kyjelly]

hhhhhmmm...not really worried....but...yr good...like pills thing haha...
