    arms pumped?

    Is it normal for someone to be the same size pumped and cold?

    it relly depend on muscle to fat ratio on your body and how much blood you are actually pushing into you arms from the pump.

    if they dont get any bigger dont worry about it, THE PUMP doesnt really do anything for growth!!!!!!! But it feels soooo sooo good.

    like arnold said its better then cumming.. =)

    There are two types of hypertrophy:

    Short-Term (the pump):
    Lasting a few hours during and after resistance training.

    Long-Term:
    The lasting results of expanding the muscle fibers from resistance training.

    If accuratly training for hypertrophy (short rest intervals, drop sets, super-sets...) you will get both.
