Weight Training Questions - Losing Muscle Pump
After Workout
Weight Training Question:
I have been lifting weights for about 6 months. A typical workout
routine is shoulders and biceps along with triceps for 3-4 sets
for each muscle group and I do about 25 reps each set. My muscles
feel super full and pumped during my workout but after 30 minutes,
my muscles go back to normal. Why don't they stay full and pumped
up for longer?
Weight Training Answer:
What you're referring to is called the "pump". When
workout and lift weights, your muscles fill up with blood and they
swell up and become engorged. After you stop training (30-40 minutes
later) the blood will be released from your muscles and the "pump"
will reside. In terms of gaining muscle mass, you really need to
always mix up your workouts with different exercises and also focus
on eating the right foods to fuel your body and increase muscle
tissue.
