I believe you 100%. the pump happens after massive sets. I take a powder pre- workout so I cant remove anything. But I will try a pump product alone on arm day to see how it feels.
You, too please. Keep me posted if you felt a difference.
I do...

So you're thinking caffeine effects muscular pumps due to the temporary blood thinning effect of stimulants? I figured if your blood is moving at a faster rate due to stimulants more would make it into the muscle! Perhaps I'm wrong?

Just curious.
Stimulants cause narrowing of the blood vessels by making the muscular walls of the vessels contract. This is called vasoconstriction.
(Stimulants do not have a blood thinning effect, by the way...)

Took a Pump product solo yesterday...I actually felt less of a muscle pump ( I hit arms hard). I don't know if the fact that they were still slightly fatigued from a monster chest day (900 reps) the day before had any thing to do with it or if the Pump product wasn't vey good. Unsure but I will try it again with a different product after slightly more rest and see what happens.
I’m doing it right. Ordering Pump Friday so I have it for Monday. Starting a new training cycle this week. I’m not changing my routine so I will be better able to judge the effects.

I take two packs a day 4-6 hours apart of Pump on training days. Pumps are skin splitting!!!!
Also, evidence suggests that stimulants do increase blood flow to the brain. So I figured that it would carryover to muscles cells as well.
I haven´t heard of that yet.
But something tells me that the vascular system in the brain is different from muscle tissue.
The brain doesn´t contract or relax and I haven´t heard of anyone getting a brain pump :D haha

You are changing too many variables to be able to make a valid comparison.

Oh yeah I'd be down for a powdered version. Stim free would be pretty neat as well. I think Rex and Lazie pretty much put out an ingredient list that I would definitely be happy with.
Started Pump today without the red pill. Can’t say I notice an appreciable size difference after just one pack, but my forearms were more vascular up towards my elbows by the end of my session.
The directions are to take one pack a day. How do you guys who double down take it? And do you double up on off days too?

I take two packs of Pump on training days 6-8 hours apart. I remove the red pill but take something like RageXL with the second pack pre-workout.
On off days just one pack. If you aren't lifting that day there is no point to take two packs; otherwise, the ingredients get wasted and metabolized out of your system and you burn through cans too quick.
I just like the idea of flooding my muscles with Pump ingredients twice a day on training days. One pack is strong, but could be stronger. The ingredients are in moderate amounts and your guts probably would not handle two packs at once very well.

I take 1 before I train. Red cap always removed. If I need a pick me up I flush it down with a cup of coffee.
