Back pumps!!! What, why, and how??

[BigScuds]

If you've been in the game for any real length of time, you know what I'm talking about- back pumps! They can be a minor annoyance or completely disabling. The question is: what are they? Why do we get them? And how the devil do you prevent them?

 

[BigScuds]

I've heard that before and tried it. Doesn't touch them. Maybe my dose is off? 4 grams a day?

Damn bro.. You are running 4 grams of gear a week!?! You're tripping if that is the case. I get pumps when I don't run enough to water too

 

[BigScuds]

No way!!! Lol 4 grams of gear hahaha! I'm very much a "less is more" kinda guy. I'm still young, no need to be taking grams of anything

For me, taurine doesn't help back pumps until I get to the 6-8g range preworkout

That does work well for me

I'll be giving that a try tomorrow then. I'll need to find higher dosed pills.. Taking 16 pills doesn't sound very appetizing

4 grams of taurine should be plenty. I would focus on other things like carb intake/timing, water intake, potassium, sodium, and magnesium levels. These can all play a role in those back pumps.

lol no bro, hes saying 4 grams of taurine didnt help

staying hydrated and taurine, potassium and some sodium intake in my normal meals helps me. If I'm dehydrated they can be a royal pain.

I didn't read the screen name and know you're not stupid BigScuds

muscle pumps are a very common side. Generally, the stronger the compound, the more pronounced the pumps. To avoid or minimize back pumps: stay well hydrated, supplement with potassium, and take 3-5g of Taurine every day.

I've been getting them while running recently. Never had them before now. Maybe it's because I haven't run in a long time or because I'm heavier than last time I ran.
