is on reasons for pump and no pump. Pump is a slang word made famous by Arnold Swartzenegger himself and means the ability in a gym session to both move weights and show voluminous muscles.
In general, everyone building his body will have bigger muscles in all those sessions also having been able to move more weight both statistically prooveable and psychologicaly looking into the mirror.
All understand that muscles are build during rest times and the training gives the impulse to trigger muscle growth. That is limited in speed and maximum build. We won't grow like Speedy Gonzales runs into Elephant Bulls. Ain happening.
The body pulls from the intake of both needles for the pro competition builders, supplements of chemical and natural origin, for the ambitous and all naturals, and both regular food and drink, for the office fit, by diggestion all it needs to build muscles. The body also needs energy to digest which is the warm nice full feeling after a Big Menue at every Fast Food Resto making you rest in all peace with a smile.
When performing the body takes the energy from other reservoirs than the stomach intake. It burns all that is stored in fat reservoirs which are under the skin, but also inbetween the inner organs.
The less the body is digesting and the more optimal the short term reservoirs are filled the better the pump will be.
That means that it does make sence to not go sleepy and after having foot while in competition prep with 5% body fat to the gym expecting perfect pump, but with a small belly, when day fasting at the time frime of the personal natural bio rhythm on is most awake.
A perfect gym session is like studying on the desk in terms of focus and wakeness.
The Spartans said to stay always a bit hungry to not get too fat, but feast when there is time to feast and enjoy every bit and drink without regret, while going to battle on the best day.
The natural biorhythem does change during lifetime and often during season. We are just no machines and other animals closer to natural weather conditions do sleep in winter and during daytime, while we are even ignoreing how much coffee we drink a day and on which days to be awake or because it just tasts great. The other way is to measure rest puls times after activity. That means, if you do 10 burpees how much time to you need to get back the the puls you had before that warm up full body all muscles excercise? Without that note and at what time you ate and stated the gym session the intel on chicken meat or bananas is of little help.
PS: That's why you train with a cheap casio like:
1Choose a location at which you can feel your pulse. The best places to find your pulse are on your wrists, the insides of your elbows, the tops of your feet and the side of your neck, just under your jaw.
2Place two fingers on the pulse location.
3Count the number of beats you feel for 15 seconds.
4Multiply the number of beats by 4 to obtain your heart rate.
