Author Topic: "Pump" Has No Effect on Muscle Fiber Growth (Read 3462 times)

HugeRipped · « **on:** March 15, 2010, 06:45:45 PM »

Many guys in the gym, do endless set of high rep, high volume exercises and assume the pump that they feel is inciting growth. They are wrong. Muscle growth comes from chronologically heavier weights on a weekly basis, in a 6-8 rep range, which will in turn cause tiny microtears in the muscle fascia fiber. When this fiber regrows it is stronger and denser than before, and thus is bigger in size. "Pump" is caused by blood rushing into the muscle fascia and temporarily stretching out the muscle. If your muscle gains have been slow, re-evaluate and prioritize your time spent in the gym. If you are just chasing a pump, you arent growing.

Mr. Hugeripped, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

What if I use the exact same weight for months, but it causes "tiny microtears" every time?

After a period of time, it will not. The muscle fibers will have hypertrophied to the point that the same weight will not induce microtears, it will just be an exercise in muscular endurance and/or maintenance. Studies have proven that the primary factor in muscular hypertophy is increasing weight progression also known as "overload."

Until you learn the difference between muscle tissue and fascia, you have no say here.

Eh, gimmick.

You just pretty much repeat yourself every topic post.

You've totally flamed out in less than 100 posts.
