Are steroid pumps caused by the drugs themselves?

[shak37]

I am currently doing winstrol with trenbolone
The pumps are insane on this stack!
My question was about pumps in general and maybe you can help me out with that answer
do you think that the pumps are caused by the steroids themselves or does it have to do with how they affect blood flow in the body?

 

[Mobster]

Both. Look at the medical use

 

[stevesmi]

water and blood going into the muscle is what causes pumps

they can be enhanced by certain steroids. tren and winny def are ones that cause pumps

 

[Mobster]

By way of an example some AAS were specifically developed to treat anemia. In other words they (when you do not have anemia) help thicken the blood and or enhance oxygen uptake. Both those effects would make for a better pump

 

[Seventieschild]

Yes both,extra cellular fluids and nitrogen increase enhance the pumps,mineral uptake,glycogen retention,all these among more will enhance pumps.some steroids will cause more intense pumps than others

Steve has you covered on the explanation... a lot of people mistakenly say its because of water retention which is simply not true... also, it can be from too much blood being forced through your kidneys. Taurine acts as a vasidilator here, relieving the pressure. There is also a milder form of backpump which is just when your erector spinae getting too pumped (like from doing deadlifts). All orals have a tendency to do this... its also important to drink plenty of water and take it proper electrolytes... people often do not get enough potassium.. taurine is a help for sure but there are other parts here aside from tauirne that need to be used and utilized to help...

Blood pumping into the muscles is what causes the pumps like a blood increase and anabolism increase

 

[JasonPriest]

pumps are something i strive for when i train

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro i prefer penis pumps

 

[ceo]

bros the pumps are caused by the blood flow boost

 

[ROIDDERS]

pumps are caused by blood flow period

 

[Quadsweep]

red blood cell count goes up so you get pumps

 

[Ulter]

pumps are like the anabolic effects right

 

[e2]

steve is right thats a side effect

 

[2Thick]

Steroids enhance pumps but pumps come mostly from glycogen, electrolytes, and hydration

Steve got you covered......

Yes they can definitely help with pumps.
