Hey when you’re in the gym lifting, and you start getting super swole, and you keep pushin and pushin, and suddenly your muscle taps out and you can feel the pump leave you, does that ruin your gains? Like are you cashed out with a big fat fail? Or can you go home, rest and eat and still have muscle growth?
I’m trying to figure this out because my leg day was going great and I think I overdid it on the calves

I don't really know what you mean, but I guess not? The muscle is still broken down the same amount.

You don't need a pump to build muscle.

Huh? What r u asking?
Do you need a pump to gain muscle? If so then so then no. Pump is just there for the ego.

You go home when you finish your working sets, not when "the pump" leaves your body.
One of the greatest experiences in life is achieving personal goals that others said would be, impossible to attain. Be proud of your success and share your story with others. -Robert Cheeke

If your sole focus is chasing the pump, you're just spinning your wheels.
