Have you ever gotten the "pump?"
I saw pumping iron the other day and it was awesome! Arnold was a lot smarter than I figured and explained the whole pump thing. Then 4 days later at the gym at about 40 minutes into my lifting, my arms became so big that I couldn't even move them
I'd imagine everyone else gets this after lifting, but does it continue? Get better? Looking foward to hammering the gym after a week off.
PS: Today was a cheat for me. Last time I cheated was on June 8. I ate an entire pizza. I feel like ****

I love the pump. If you want to get that 'mind blowing pump' you need to hook it up with some NO2 (I like NO-Xplode, it all around kicks ass).
I'm currently doing Max-OT and the pump isn't as dramatic as when you do lighter weight with more reps and really fill the muscle with blood. But I definitely get stronger doing max-ot, so I'll go pumpless for about 8 weeks and then really hammer on it again.***Georgia Crew***

Arnold was amazing. Everyone built him out to be this God and he did have an amazing body. But he outplayed the competition with his mind first.Originally Posted by 01tmac01
I guess this should be a SPOILER ALERT!
With Lou, he just embarrased him at the final competition, but then he told everyone about his birthday and got him a cake. Then he just sat down while Lou was so embarrased and started smoking a blunt. Arnold is the man

I lift 5x5, rarely do I get a pump anymore.
For a great pump, do 21s. Not that a pump means you got a good workout, it's all psychological...

I started MaxOT for the first time this week and noticed no pump as well. But it was awesome to lift more weight, even though fewer reps, and I felt it longer than doing 3 x 8. 4 hours after lifting my legs were still jello this morning.Originally Posted by PsychoholicHeight 5'11"
