Reply With QuoteWhat you're doing wrong is you are mistakenly thinking that a pump is necessary for a good work-out, it's not.
Stop measuring your work-out by your pump.
There are some work-outs where I actually try to attain a pump, I will do higher reps, giant sets, strip sets, etc. maybe once every 3 times, meaning for each muscle group. So every third week I might do this for each muscle.

Am I doing this right
When doing my training..After for say a shoulder workout where the weights are heavy pretty much to failure..my shoulders dont really feel pumped as opposed to when doing 21's for bi's i get ripped on the first set..same with chest..i dont really do a lot of bench i do more machine than free weights for chest and it takes ALOT to feel anything if any at all after the chest workout. For tri's i have to do a lot of reps to get pumped..Am I doing something wrong here?
For those about to rock, We salute you....

hey Prince, I do 3 sets of most exercises, usually around 10 reps... what do you think about always ending the last set in failure? I work each body part about once every 4-5 days...
Are you kidding me????

do you mean failure on the last set of every exercise and every work-out?
