There is some evidence that the pump may be anabolic, though in practice I'm not sure how much this specific mechanism matters in the big picture.

To delve into it slightly, basically the metabolites accrete due to anaerobic pathways and act as osmolytes. This causes hyperhydration of the tissue, promoting increased protein synthesis via mTOR & ERK pathways and attenuated proteolysis. There's also some evidence this may act to promote increased satellite cell kinetics. It can be simplified to the fact that your cells sense the hyperhydration and discern it as a threat to general cellular integrity, similar to metabolite accretion in general, cascading to anabolic & survival pathways.



And this most always

who are you calling a moron?



Would this apply to guys on steroids to a greater extent than nattys though?

dumb as fk. disregard everything he say in this vid

He says his natty vs steroid training

Pump will mostly help while on roids only

Useless while off
