Don't feel pump very much

[drejb]

Hey guys.


Going to the gym 4 days a week


Following Louis Simons WSFSB. Not feeling the pump very easily. I've increased reps and volume. Tried different exercises. Nothing seems to help

Macros daily =

Carb: 400
Fat: 85
Prot: 200

Bringing me to 3000 Cals, about a 300 surplus from my TDEE

My ROM is perfect. Tempo is great.

Stats

5'11
200lb

Squat: 385
Deadlift: 480
Bench: 220 (recent shoulder injury, pump has been an issue since before it happened)
Strict standing overhead press: 170 (shoulder injury)

Can anyone recommend a stim free supplement that may help? If I do get a pump it maybe lasts a minute and then it will diminish

Currently taking Alphamax xt, creapure, BCAA

Cheers

AIs can sometimes give you a "dryer" feel/look which doesn't really lend itself towards getting a good pump but seeing as you didn't mention any pre workout supplements there are tons of options but if you wanted to keep it simple just adding some citrulline would help.

What's ALS an abbreviation from? I think the only time I've heard that was during the ice bucket challenge

A I = Aromatase Inhibitor (in Alphamax)

Ahhhhh I see. It's only my 3rd day on Alphamax XT.

Thanks for the tip on citruline, dose recommendations?


I hear Leucine is pretty good as well?

Nitrates bro.

Nitrates bro.

Any examples? I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff. I stay away from pre workouts because I can't really do stims

 

[Distilled Water]

Sodium and water

You could go with a non-stim pre. My gotos are NO-Xplode, Conqu3r Unleashed non-stim.

Awesome thanks for the link. I've tried a stim free pre it still made me feel all shtty. I'd rather take the key ingredients that are responsible for pump and take them on their own.

Your welcome. That link will help you out with that.

If you can't sustain a pump in a caloric surplus WITH carbs, supplemnts won't help.much. for.cell volume you need water and electrolytes. Adding salt to your pre workout and making sure your hydrated should do the trick

Great tip. I try to get a gallon and a half a day. Would you recommend adding some sea salt to the water?

1/2tsp in your pre meal should suffice. I add sea salt into my pre workout Shake of waxy maize/whey iso (20ish min before) and another 1/4tsp in my intra drink

Neither of those products include nitrates.

A good product with nitrates is PEScience high volume. It has a full dose of arginine nitrate, citrulline, agmatine, and also includes hydromax and taurine. It is an excellent stim free preworkout that elicits excellent pumps.

Just grabbed some PEScience high volume on BB.ca they were having buy one get one half off. Two bottles for roughly $50US shipped.

Hoping it goes well!

Awesome man, I think you'll enjoy it very much. If you have any questions, feel free to ask

 

[Mr.SJ]

Try using coal is or viagra, that will do it.

 

[bigsmall]

Make sure your drinking enough water before you do anything.

 

[Ape McGrapes]

High Volume is what I use. Covers jist about every popular pump ingrediant. Cant as for better than that, so good choice.

PlasmaJet also looks interesting/promising but I probably wont go out of my way to use it.

No real reason to look past those two.

Kind of off topic but do you take any waxymaize intra to sustain a pump or immediately post workout?

 

[Robert5891]

Stim free pump options that would fit would be:

IForce Hemavo2 Max
PES high Volume
SAN Megatron
Conqu3r Unleashed Stim Free

 

[cheftepesh1]

Some good choices

Nocturnis mind and muscle
Focus XT SNS
Citruiline SNS
BA SNS
