Does The Pump Cause Muscle Growth? John Robert Cardillo Speaks
Many bodybuilders are under the false impression that the pump they achieve through volume training equates to muscle growth. If this was the case, marathon runners, who achieve a good pump from their daily 15 to 25 km runs would have larger muscles than 100 yard sprinters. Yet the opposite is true.
Muscle pumping with medium heavy weights causes fluid build-up in the particular body part being exercised. However great the pump, it does not equate to muscular growth. Hi-intensity training causes lactic acid buildup in a muscle which results in a burning pain. Training through the pain threshold causes more growth stimulation.
The Premier Fitness & Bodybuilding Principle of Hypertrophy
The premier fitness and bodybuilding principle of hypertrophy is
Hi-Intensity Training. Although a lesser pump will be experienced by hi-intensity training (than that experienced by volume training), more muscular growth will be the result.
