With all these nitric oxide supplements I keep hearing about how they give you "pumps". Can anyone explain what a pump is in newb terms? Thanks!

it doesn't really do anything but it does dilate your blood vessels overall, which should allow for more nutrients to be transported to your muscles, but i'm not sure. the thing is that most NO products contain other substances that give you heaps of energy, so don't think they're worthless. personally i love the stuff....either superpump 250 or noexplode
ADIOS...TURD NUGGETS!
everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but nobody wanna lift this heavy ass weight.....

i'm pretty sure the "pump" has benefits... ugh i'm not gonna try and be scientific or sound smart, just gonna be straight. soooo when you have the "pump" sensation it means that more blood is in your muscle... which translates into more nutrients and fuel being rushed to the muscles vs. normal... which is why protein is good for post workout while the muscles are still open. yes. i know. PhD here i come.

Sorry delg, but increase in Nitric Oxide production should in fact cause a larger pump. Why would every company market arginine as a pump supplement if that wasn't the case. It itself won't make you attain a pump on its own but it increases the capability of your body to create the pump during weight training.
Does it help flush nutrients to the muscles like assume it to? A lot of folks say no, some say yes. Research shows that all this is doing is possiby increasing peak sprint power and 1RM... other wise nothing, not differece inbetween control groups and arginine groups... Thus is why a significant amount of NO supplements contain caffeine which does have performance enhancement capabilities aong other things in them that help slightly.
Is it worth the money? If you buy it in bulk for cheap, yeah sure why not... buying stuff like noexplode shouldn't be for arginine though it should be for energy.
