Pump

Doing high volume work gives me the best pumps. I superset a compound exercise with an isolation exercise (like close grip bench for tri's along with one-arm pushdowns) and that seems to hit the muscle really well. I limit my rest interval to about a minute-mintutethirty each set.

I have been using the hydrodipeptide capsules before and after along with some pepto pro to sip on during and I have gotten really good, consistent pumps in conjunction witht he above protocol.

the caffeine is a diuretic so you what to discontinue use of that. Getting a good pump is the best, no doubt. Anabolic steroids give the best pump by far. If you have ever talked to someone on steroids they will tell you the pumps you get are incredible. Thus if you take a look at anabolic steroids and equate from that you can use supplements to try to mimic the steroid pump.

1) steroids are really synthetic testosterone hormones....no matter what type, they are all versions of testoterone...thus first find yourself a NATURAL test booster. ALL natural test boosters are very weak to say the least. Take a look at any test supplements, including mine and you will hear guys saying, "Hey I love this stuff" and guys saying, "Didnt get anything from it, waste of money". But I like the LJ100 the best. Why? branded ingredient with good research. Whatever test supplement you buy you will get a slight effect if any...but nonetheless its a start.

2) steroids increase creatine levels in the muscle. So this is an easy one...supplement with CREAPURE.

3) Steroids increase red blood cells and blood volume...granted I dont know the whole tech side but we have tried to bring in supplements to mimic this. Our VIGOR.

4)insulin. its a hormone released when you eat too many high GI carbs (in layman's terms). Insulin in one way or another helps brings nutrients into the muscle cell. Thus a combo of RILOSE with hydrodipeptides preworkout. I personally use this combo everytime I workout. And really if I dont use it I can feel the difference from when I do. And that really sucks when you know you got an awesome pump last week when you did the same routine.

5) lastly working out. Simply working out brings more blood flow to that particular muscle group.

Finally the workout. The best pump I get of course if with arms. I follow a routine from Charles Staley. For 5 minutes non-stop I go over to the cables, do 8 reps of tricep pushdowns put the bar down and go directly to bicep curls with a barbell. I do about 130 on the triceps and 50 or 60bls on the barbell. after 5 mintues you got sweat pouring off your face, but the pump is AWESOME

I think going with this particular outline and you can be sure to get some "pump" while working out.

I was going to do an article about this but Alex already summed this up nicely.

Just to emphasize the point: of all supplements and foods, pre-workout meals not only have the highest recorded level of blood flow stimulation, but also anabolism. Coincidence?

Right, because a full meal (of protein, carbs, and fats) causes a greater and more sustainable rise in insulin than just protein alone or protein and carbs, right?

I see what you're saying.
Specifically for the maximization of blood flow during a workout (ie pump) it would need to be a rapidly absorbed protein/carbohydrate mixture.
