It’s all about repetitions and it’s all about the pump” explaining one of the most important tips. Along with this, he emphasized the importance of hydration, for which, he suggested drinking a lot of water before and during the training. 

Apart from water, one can also use hydration products. Continuing further, he said that we had a lot of great pump products. Talking about his second tip for pumping, he stressed the food intake. He revealed, “Your best pumps are going to come eating four meals a day prior to working out.”

Moreover, he added, sometimes when you only have one meal in in the morning, you hit the gym. However, the pumps aren’t going to be as much because you’re going to be way more hydrated, with more food consumed. Highlighting the significance of carbs, he said, “carbohydrates are your key because that’s going to give you muscle glycogen, which is going to give you a better pump.”
