painful pumps

[steve rogers86]

hey guys the last 3 weeks i’ve been getting extremely painful pump only on chest an shoulders i’m doing a push pull split i start with incline barbell an after my 4th set i’m toast the pump is so bad i can really do any more for chest an shoulders only light lateral raises...only thing i can think of is dehydration? i’m doing a 6 week mini cut an added helios only thing i’ve changed...doesn’t happen on any other body parts...any one experienced this?

The only bodypart that happens to me is quads. Those pumps can bring tears to my eyes.

dehydration would do the complete opposite (make you have no pump)
try beta alanine, 3-5grams pre workout

are you using any PEDs or supplements, medications, how's your sodium and potassium intake?

what is in the helios? i've seen a bunch of different blends of fat burners
if clenbuterol is in there, try taurine, clenbuterol causes problems with potassium and calcium
also, clenbuterol can cause hyperinsulinemia, which could be related

i’m on 500 test 300npp a week
an helios is a blend of liquid clean an yohimbine (that’s really what i think is causing it) protein is high an sodium an potassium are good

id assume it's the clen since you said it started when you added it

maybe try taurine,
clen is supposed to deplete taurine levels
it also causes high intracellular potassium and low extracellular potassium

i’d say more of a pump then cramp
nothing locks up or anything

I mean my thought is the same as yours in your orginal post about dehydration. The Clen and Yohimbe would cramp the fuck out of me. And you might also be catabolic from the Clen.

I think clen has a (small) amount of anabolism associated with it. But it cramps me up like NOTHING else too.

Start with taurine. I worked great when I tried clen. Make sure you're drinking at least a gallon of water a day.

This just gave me cancer

Interesting. I don't use clen anymore bc it makes me feel like dog shit. It's def not the pumps that got me but how dried out it made me....those cramps hurt so bad when just doing curls, calf raises, chest...etc.

Completely off topic but clen could be catabolic if you use it in such a way (ie more than you are comfortable with) that it raises your stress hormones, cortisol, etc
