Muscle Goodness - The "Pump" A quick word on pumps. A good pump means that the muscle is receiving adequate blood supply. Also, the speed at which the muscle pumps is very indicative of its neuromuscular pathway. This means folks that their is a definite relationship among supply, nerve transmission and muscle gainzzz. In short, the better the blood supply to your muscle, the better it pumps and faster it grows. But thats not important... But what is important is what the blood carries. The blood MUST bring all nutrients and oxygen needed for growth and repair. BOOM right there. If you are a smoker you are holding yourself back big time because your blood is full of shit like carbon monoxide, free radicals and god knows what else. Muscle needs quality blood. But at the same time, your blood is removing waste like lactic acid (which gives you that muscle burn during a set) and carbon dioxide. Now an increase in blood supply means it grows more blood vessels and hence size over time. So to get an awesome pump, you require intense, heavy training. - Kev
