Pump

[leo8013]

I am trying to get some help here. Sometimes I get such a pump that the pump itself feels good but if I keep going its hurts like hell to continue. Esp when IGF is in play. The problem is that I am not to the point of stopping because of exhaustion or failure. What techniques do you guys use when you get like that and keep going.

When this happens to me i try to stretch as much as possible, especialy when doing biceps, i get a pump way to soon sometimes to the point its hard to finish, so just stretch bro, i cant think of anyhting else that might help technique waise

I get extremly pumped when training arms, so much so that you would laugh at the weigh I use at the end. If you are getting that much blood into the muscle you will grow, so it is a good thing. I know how painful it can be. Play with the weight you are using/number of reps. Just my opinion here but I feel it could be very dangerous to stretch a muscle that is so engorged. I know several bbers who have torn muscles doing just that. If it continues to be painful during your workout you could also try giving yourself a little longer rest in between sets as well.

Like Jenn said you just have to be careful. I know when I get monstrous pumps, certain exercises are out at that point as is heavy weight. I've also had a quad injury from being to pumped and doing leg presses. If the muscle is too engorged and you try to stretch to even its normal range you can injure yourself.
