Default Re: OK, seriously guys. THE PUMPAGE. W T F

[ QUOTE ]

Yea the way Arnold was talking about it was weird, but I thought that the Pump just naturally occurred after lifting some solid weight.

The question is whether the pump is actually something beneficial (or an indicator of something beneficial) and whether or not you should train "for the pump".

The most basic modern philosophy would say that if you're moving an increasing amount of big weight around it doesn't matter if you get a pump or not. And most of the hard compound lifts are not conducive to pumpage.
