BACK PUMPS

[jhughes4]

What's everyone's favorite supps for making back pumps disappear? I been dosing like 5-10g of taurine on workout days, and thinking of getting some potassium pills, just me know what you guys think!!

 

[jhughes4]

Not only back pumps but lots of chest pumps too, makes it dang hard to hit chest

I heard cranberry juice works, I personally can't confirm that tho.

Taurine

Bumping

Dose taurine like you are and drink a lot more water. Should alleviate the problem. If you're already drinking 1.5-2.0 gallons a day... you might have a potassium/sodium deficiency. Only really possible to tell from bloods, though.

What are you running?

Ultra drol, I been running it at 16,20,20,20 so far I wanna do two more weeks, but my chest is cramping up like crazy, I think I'm gonna get some potassium pills after work and get some cranberry juice, hopefully that helps, and keep chugging water

banana's.

and getting your core more involved when you lift instead of your back.

Potassium and taurine, potassium is mostly from diet, also drink more water that should be all that is necessary.

Potassium, taurine, and oceans of water.

yeah, potassium pills are a joke, look into using a salt substitute, eating tree-nuts, eating bannans, and drinking something like v8 for potassium (Thanks for all tha info in my thread gerbil )

Agreed. Too many supposed quick fixes out there for what should come from proper nutrition. Bananas reign supreme!

 

[jhughes4]

Thanks guys, yeah I need to implement more bananas and get some more v8 going, I love that stuff and it's got a shiz load of potassium!

 

[ManBeast]

yeah, the pills tend to dose out 3% of your RDA per serving... aka a f*cking joke

Really? ****, guess my diet of nitro-tech, mass gainers, and pills isn't so good after all. No wonder I'm still 145lbs. Well, **** that noise. Instead of fixing my diet I'm gonna take steroids.

Edit: please note sarcasm.

 

[ManBeast]

LOL. Most of my supps are things I can't get from diet (or can't easily get enough on a restricted calorie diet... god I can't wait for my winter bulk 4k calories here I come motherf*ckers!)
