The "PUMP"

Have you ever been in the midst of a tough workout and got hit with "the pump"? The other day during my arm workout I began to feel my arms swell. This is one of the best feelings one can achieve while lifting. Whatever body part that has "the pump" begins to swell and increases in size and vascularity. You can literally get this feeling in any body part if you work it hard enough... biceps, triceps, chest, quadriceps the list goes on and on. After my workout session it got me thinking; What is truly happening when you feel the pump? This led me to doing some research once I got home and what I found was pretty cool. Here is a very informing link to a great article that discusses scientifically what "the pump" is, what it means and the best ways to achieve it http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson161.htm .
