Feel of losing the pump

ok recently during my lifts especially chest workout today, about half to three quarters thru the workout I have a great pump ut then it feels like there is no pump later. Alot of heavy lifts in the 10 - 8 - 6 rep range. Is it just that my pecs are ( tired). Cause I know my ass is draggin after the lifts. Here is the chest workout today

warmup pushups
15 deg incline db press
40 deg incline db press
standing cable crossovers

This wasnt even a complete workout because of running short on time.

Supplements are
cyto gainer
muscle milk
creatine capsules
and a clean diet

ALSO TRYING TO BULK

THANKS

Who cares about pump?

Do you mean youre just too fatigued to complete your sets?

along with the exercises, you should also tell us the number of sets, reps, and rest intervals used. You possibly could be doing too much in one session, but we have no way of knowing that without more info...

Also post the rest of your routine.

The pump doesn't really mean that much, but if you feel like it "goes away" in the middle of what you are doing, perhaps you should stop. It sounds like kcoleman said that perhaps you are doing too much in one session so to know number of sets, etc. along with your routine would be extremely helpful.



Tchau,

for example today chest and triceps

3 sets of 20 pushups each (warmup)
15 deg incline db 3 sets 10,10,8 increasing weight
40 deg incline db 3 sets 10,10,8 increasing weight
standing cable crossover 10,8,6 increasing weight
and usually supine flies 10,10,8

supine tricep extension 10,10,8
standing cable push down 10,10,8
standing 2 hand db tricep extension 10,10,8
lastly was a burnout set of decreasing cable pushdown

I haven't had a pump in a year, yet I have made petty gains as my training has been tweaked and fine tuned. I don't care if I ever get pump again.

I find i only get pump when i do higher reps, other than that it doesnt really happen.

I wouldnt worry about it. As long as you can finish your sets, and are making progress...

I used to train for powerlifting events and I would get pumps doing a 1 rep max. Probably depends how focused you are and intense you lift.

I don't know if having a pump is required to grow, but I love the feeling of being pumped up when I do a workout. If anything it assures me that I am hitting the muscle I am intending on.....that in return means growth to me.

Pumps are nice, but they are not required to grow. It does look like you may be doing slightly much in the way of training the chest. There really isn't much difference between 15 and 40 degree incline except that one will actually work the shoulders more. If you are trying to focus on the chest, perhaps cut the 40 deg sets. I also notice you are increasing weight as you perform your sets. How heavy are you going? Maximum size/mass is built around the 75-85% of max range anyway. Also, if you go too heavy, you will be strictly strength training which doesn't give you much of a pump if you are looking for one.
