Reply With QuoteThe pump means nothing. It's like how popular you are in high school. It's like removing a single grain of sand from the beach or a gallon of water from the ocean. Don't focus on the pump; focus on results.

The fact that they're gone doesn't mean anything. Don't worry about it. It's just like getting sore - whether it happens or not, you can still have great results and should rely solely on progress and numbers.

If you just want the pump because you like the feel then just do a high volume routine with fairly short rest intervals. However, it's not really going to affect your progress one way or the other.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Pump= More than usual amount of blood in your muscles. Some people don't get pumps at all, yet they still gain. The pump means pretty much nothing as far as hypertrophy goes.

Although having a pump is extremely important for bodybuilding contests.
