can't seem to get a pump

Are you still getting stronger/bigger? If so I wouldn't worry about it to much.

I have tried different training styles to see what might help. 3 weeks before my last show was when I started noticing the problem, but I think it's normal when your calorie restricted. For some reason it just never got better.



Interesting, has this worked well for you? How many sets?



Set macros. LBA's between meals. Eat when hungry. Do you think this is the problem? I'm eating more now than when I was force feeding every 2.5 hours. It's probably 3500-4000 on average.



Brad I keep reading about this effect why have I not experienced!? At one point I was taking 24+ TBSPs a day...



I'm not quite sure, but I'd guess 4 or 5 times the rda . What should I aim for?


Part of me is wondering if this is a mental thing. I haven't had a good workout partner for quite a while, and for whatever reason I just have better sessions when I'm working with someone. I know this is not an excuse for shitty training. Thanks for the help!!!

bro if you were taking 24+ tbls a day of LBA's AND drinking a shit ton of water
to the point where you were "super-hydrated" then you should have great pumps in the gym ESPECIALLY if you taking in a moderate amount of carbs along with that protocol then you should get great pumps, if not then you got something wrong with ya bro!

Absolutely. It was just an idea. Some people handle slin pre workout perfectly. I do it and just sip apple juice. The power and pump felt - pretty crazy. I honestly believe the low carbs are the issue, along with water.

by the look of your pic its working for you. I just hate when slin comes up because if someone uses it wrong it can be deadly. The more is better mentality can really backfire here. No offense meant
