QUOTE(~LynX~ @ Jul 6 2009, 01:46 AM) I work out for 2 hrs per session, the pump keeps increasing until the last set and it remains like that for more than an hour afterwards. Maybe you should check your form? I notice that if I use poor form for any exercise, I won't feel my muscles getting as much of a 'hit' when using good form. QUOTE(jamis @ Jul 6 2009, 11:40 AM) Did u eat enuf for ur pre workout? Word. I've actually never heard about people losing the pump in the gym. I just know that some people never getting teh pump in the first place. |

QUOTE(st01 @ Jul 6 2009, 01:53 PM) I make sure I use strict form for all my sets, I do my reps in a slow and controlled manner, i make sure i can hold and maintain a rep at whatever point. It's not that i do not get a pump, it's just that after a certain point during a workout, the fullness just slowly start to fade. I even sweat less then. I'm wondering if I should push on after that point, or it will do more harm than good. Quit unless you know what you're doing. I don't know how it is for you, but in sports, we generally stop when we slow down. This ensure that our bodies do not turn slow. Your activity dictates how your physique becomes, slow or fast. In your case, I'd drop out the unnecessary stuff like excessive front raises, or calf raises, and just stick with the compounds. Then between 8-10 weeks, I'd switch to isolation first to pre-exhaust the targeted muscles and then move to compounds. Perhaps the changing of the rep ranges, and moving to a periodization styled routine would help your body adapt for the better as well. Also if you were my clients, I may changing the tempo of your lifts. Perhaps put a little more emphasis on your eccentric phase to stretch out your muscle fibers. |

QUOTE(shanecross @ Jul 6 2009, 02:49 PM) I agree on the laying off for a week or so simply jut for rest. We all need a break...  ... i doubt muscles can stop firing (stop firing as in inactive i suppose?) unless you're dead...if muscles stop firing...heck ya can't probably move now can ya?  But if you still feel like you need to get some activity done...do some cross-training during that week off...Who knows...your conditioning is just off...and thats where cross-training helps.. explore possibilities... yehhhh!! Some cross training gonna help you pull 335! |
