The pump is direct evidence of cell swelling causing muscle growth. The biggest pumps correlate to the biggest ROMs(with a stretch), most volume, most metabolites, and the lowest RIRs(reps in reserve) so it helps you know you're working hard enough for optimal muscle growth.

Then you have the fact that they make you feel and look better which helps with motivation and staying disciplined. The pump matters A LOT.

Not going for them and gaining a bit of muscle doesn't prove pumps don't matter. You may not worry about them, and that's fine. Blanket statements with no proof are just an opinion. I never said they are required, but when you're optimal with your training and diet, they will come regardless. 4 reps and one set is not optimal.

Thank you, Diana! I used to share more but I think a much greater percentage of people know how it all works these days.

Diablo keep sharing because there is a lot of information out there. I am like Diana and have been inspired by your posts. I actually increased my carbs after reading your posts and have felt better at the gym and more energy!

Haha Karen. I always have a dirty mind but I was not thinking that and now I'm embarrassed. 😆 Didn't even cross my mind. 🤦♀️
