Pump Your Muscles

There is a very exhilarating and thrilling way to increase muscle gain, feel an unbelievable sensation, and to get your muscles all the blood they could ever desire to supply you the pumps you need for any type of workout. Whether it be biceps, chest, shoulders, or any other routine; this is guaranteed to give you the pumps to exceed phenomenal strength and gain muscle quick. Say your doing biceps and your going to start with a curling bar and want to do 6-8 reps and the heavy weight you want to do is 80 pounds; but to really get a pump start with 60 pounds and you will do something called Down Setting.

This is where you drop 15-30 pounds of weight after every first set of a new exercise. So now after you have done your 8 reps of 60 pounds, immediately go for 45 pounds and do 8, then 30 pounds, then end off with 20 pounds each with 8 repetitions. Now some of you may be asking why should you drop weight while trying to gain muscle that requires heavy weight?

Well when you Down Set an exercise you are pumping that muscle with insane amounts of blood that will give you the ability to do heavy weights with ease as you are getting larger pumps into your muscle. So after you have accomplished the Down Set, take 1-1:30 second rest before doing your second set. This set should be 70-80 pounds and you will be able to maintain proper form while managing to do 6-8 repetitions. Now rest and prepare for the final set of 6-8. This time you should go for around 60-90 pounds depending on how tired your muscles have become. But don't worry if you cant match your last set because as long as the weight is still in the 6-8 repetition range and is heavy for you.

You will gain strength and tear your muscle fibers to create larger bulges and grow your veins from all the blood you have put into your muscles from Down Setting. This will eventually cause your veins to pump more blood into your muscles and allowing you to dramatically increase weight as you continue Down Setting during your exercise routines.

Difference Between Low & High Repititions

Do you go to the gym and ever question on what type of weights you should use? Whats the biggest difference? The largest difference is the workout routine you are actually performing. If you want big and strong muscles, you want to focus on low repetitions with heavy weights. The main reason is due to how your muscles grow. In order to grow, you ironically need to tear them apart. Eating protein bars and shakes isn't going to cut it without putting in labor. When you lift heavy weights, you essentially rip and tear the muscle apart; and when it regrows it builds a bulge. Then you rip and tear over and over again. This is how you start to get that bulk in your physique and notice your muscles getting larger. Though these are microfiber tears, so it does take some time to actually start visually noticing results.

Now when you do those low repetitions, you are still consistently doing tears to the muscle, but the results are not as heavily explosive. Your muscles basically stay your initial size, but you get severely stronger, more toned, and denser.

If you are capable of doing a specific weight around 15 repetitions and it seems too easy, you are not working your muscles and wasting your crucial effort and time. And if you are not going above 12 repetitions, you will not run the risk of creating the smaller bulges from the muscle tears if you goal is to get bigger.

For those who lift heavy weights and don't see any results, its because your not eating enough to successfully do it. Now if your aiming for muscle you want to eat a lot more calories (4000-5000). For getting toned you focus on 12-15 repetitions and stay around 1500-2500 calories depending how big you are. If you are a bigger person you do not want to cut out too much food because your body will then starve.
