I agree...the stronger I got the bigger I got...I tried training for the "pump" and got nowhere...we are all different and respond differently to training styles......kvh
I believe training for the pump is effective for building arms. I see a ton of guys curling 40’s and 50’s and doing heavy ass barbel curls. Yet, their arms are very unimpressive. Dorians arms were horrible in my opinion. So was Dave Palumbos arms who trained in a modified HIT program. My arms were stuck at 19 for several years training them heavy and hard. I switched to a high volume approach and focused on getting as much blood in them as possible. Within a year my arms were 20 3/4 cold. A few years ago I met Michael Ergas at Golds Hollywood. He was impressed with my arm development and I was impressed at his leg development. So we trained arms and legs together for about a year. He brought his arms up at age 46 using the volume blood pumping method. And my legs grew to new proportions doing his maniacal 100 rep sets on leg extensions and leg press! He’s fucking nuts! He also made me do 50 rep barbel squat sets and hack squats. I’ve never had to endure so much pain and burning before. I use to get anxiety before our leg workouts because I knew I was in for a fucking torture session! Good times!
