If you are a fitness enthusiast, you must not be unfamiliar with the word "pump". But many people have only heard of it and have not understood it. What is the pump feeling? What does it mean if the pump is also present in our training? Here I want to ask how to create a pump feeling? For this concept that we are not very familiar with, today I will introduce the so-called "pump feeling" to you!
In fact, when we are training, we are all accompanied by the generation of a pump. When our muscles feel tight, this is actually a pump, what is a pump, and a pump is the power that can make your muscles expand. It's just an official statement. To put it bluntly, it's just a muscle feeling. So why do our muscles have a pump feeling, and how does the pump feel come from? Do we have such a series of questions in our minds, so today I will explain to you!
So why does the pump feel occur?
Everyone's muscle movement and cardiovascular system have more pressure, driving blood to the muscle group being trained, but there is no such pressure in the muscle group to force the blood circulation out, the blood will continue to stay in the muscle. , during this time, the muscles will appear larger.

So how do you create a pump feel?
As mentioned above, in fact, the pump feeling is the feeling of congestion and muscle tension. If we want to get this feeling, we need to grasp the opportunity to find a suitable weight. If it is too light, it will not reach the muscle feeling. You can't get blood to flow into your muscles either, so try to find a weight that works for you.
We have to learn and master the eccentric contraction. For example, in the process of bench press, if you have the idea of getting a better pump, then you can't be too fast in your descent, but you need to control the whole process of descending steadily, to let Let the target muscle group achieve the desired effect.
So what are the benefits of pumping?
When we do some training, such as the previously injured part, we will be a little hesitant when exercising, worrying that the injured part will be very painful. However, in the following process, you may feel more and more that the painful part becomes less and less painful, and the pain gradually disappears. This is actually the experience brought by the pump.
