The steroid PUMP

[Drveejay11]

What accounts for the incredible pump I get while I am
using gear ?

The "steroid pump" does have an actual physiological
explanation. It is primarily due to the fact that there is
more blood available in the body during a steroid cycle.
One of the affects of anabolic steroid use is an increased
production of RBC's (red blood cells).

That increases blood volume and greatly improves the
oxygen carrying ability of blood. This increases the
efficiency and endurance of skeletal muscle cells. A 200
pound lifter could carry an extra liter of blood during
this time.

This increased blood volume partially explains why some
athletes feel "pumped" all the time while they are on a
steroid cycle. It also explains the incredible pump you
get while working out at this time.

I also get amazing pumps when off AS. I can be off for 5 months or even before AS I would get crazy pumps. I love them...

I notice the more calories you eat the more swole and tight you feel which equates to the bigger pumps..also AS help to dramatically increase glycogen storage

I feel the same way....I always load up on carbs a hr before my training..I love the pump feeling!

I think most will agree that d-ball produces the most pronounced "pump" among AAS. Would it be fair to say this is also why it is the best at boosting immune system abilities?
