Back pump? What is it?

also someone just posted about this in the last month I swear try searching back pump you may find it for more info but its basically an intense amount of blood pumped into the back, the pain can be associated to that of a cramp or being punched in the kidney.... its no fun.
 
Is it I.L.S.? The condition also known as imaginary lat syndrom? Possessed by skinny guys all over the world that walk around like they have huge lats.
 
I could totally be wrong but I think that taurine is more for the mind than the body. Can anyone add to this?
 
taurine will def help anyhwere from 1g-10g ed depending on your situation. I would suggest some poseidon before taurine any day though, its all about keeping yourself hydrated on a cellular level and thats exactly what poseidon will do. Drink plenty of water too to help alleviate it.... also potassium (also in poseidon) is good and relief can be found in just a simple bannana or two.
 
After looking online it looks like taurine will also help with nitric oxide production which will help you get a bigger pump while working out. I hope that answers the question.
 
the human body, although it desperately needs taurine, cannot synthetize it; we must get it from our foods. But because taurine is not used for proteins, biochemists classify it as a conditionally essential amino acid.
Whatever, research in more recent years suggests that faulty taurine in metabolism may be associated with certain kinds of epileptic seizures.

not neccesarily... it can aid in hydration like creatine does which in turn makes NO products work better and bigger pumps from NO supps possible... it will not really give pumps on its own, why would you want to take something that pumps you up when your already experiencing excruciating painful pumps from a steroid or PH???

Exactly what I was thinking!

Taurine works and it's cheap in bulk form. I had success with 4g per day. More aggressive problems could require more taurine, but ultimately you're still going to have an issue if you don't drink enough water.
 
Taurine does not touch lower back pumps for me. It works wonders for muscle cramps brought on by Clen/alb.

Can someone explain the mechanism of action that explains how taurine would help with back pumps? Please be very detailed.
 
I went between 4g to 6g taurine + 2g-4g potassium gluconate.
If you want to know what back pumps are get a friend to hit you in the back with a baseball bat. Now imagine that constantly.

I know what they are and have experienced them. I have also supplemented with taurine upwards 10g/day to no avail.

My question was by what mechanism does this supposedly work for back pumps? I understand how taurine and various electrolytes help with muscle cramps/spasms but lower back pumps are not the same thing. I am looking for an explanantion not just brotelligence. I would like to understand how it works. I know in animal studies for decades ago taurine supposedly lowered BP but I do not know if human studies showed same results.

Edit: I am thinking your response was not for me.
 
Brotelligence.........I like that.
Try to summon Dr.D maybe? There are a few DR.'s out there on this board. Good Luck!

Well from my understanding the back pump is due to significantly more amounts of blood being pumped in, than the amount being pumped out. This essentially is what all of our "pumps," are. Now Taurine comes in because it plays a major role in our NO production. NO is the gas present for every muscle contraction and blood vessel dilation. Taurine basically widens blood channels allowing for greater blood flow, which obviously results in greater oxygen/nutrient delivery. I think the key here is the increased blood flow, and that is why taurine has been known to alleviate these back pumps.

Hope this is close to what you were looking for.

Yes, it actually was helpful. Led me to find studies of it effects on vasodilation. thanks.
