Pumps?

[lil-SLIM]

newb here just wondering what people meant when thy referred to pumps? like "I had horrible back pumps..."

You know when your working your muscle hard you get the pump in teh muscle. That is what we are talking about. But when on gear the pumps at 10x more.

[magic32]

Firing muscle fibers require more oxygenated blood to accomplish the demands of successive lifts. Blood vessels dialate to permit more flow, causing the body part to be virtually engorged. This in turn produces a fullness/tautness in the exercised muscle that is referred to as the "pump", referencing the literal pumping up of an air or fluid filled object.

Quite true!
And that is a matter of great debate, but one thing is certain, it's not related to the traditional pump. I'm of the opinion (based on conversations with physicians) that it's actually kidney pain resulting from the filtering these compounds necessarily undergo, others subscribe to strain, disc protrusions, weight bearing induced pressure, etc.

ok so pumps can mean two diff things one kind is when u just look swull in a muscle after or during a workout another kind refers to a painful feeling in the lower back cause by swullin kidney due to too much dbol

the most common type of pump which most people refer to when muscles become engorged with heavy blood flow which magic32 described well.

You can get good pumps without aas......the pump comes from lifting.

I recommend you watch pumping iron and listen how Arnold describes the "pump"

Mine is simply a more detailed paraphrase of Arnold's. You really can't improve on 'The Oak'.
