Title:
Pumping or Pounding to Build Muscle Mass?

Word Count:
447

Summary:
There are pretty much 2 schools of thought in how to gain muscle weight: you are either a "pumper", meaning you do a lot of sets for a lot of reps, using lower weights, and you go after the "pump". Or, you are a "pounder", meaning you do a low number of sets, a lower rep range, but you use as much weight as possible, so you are more concerned with getting stronger than getting a pump.

There are pretty much 2 schools of thought in how to gain muscle weight: you are either a "pumper", meaning you do a lot of sets for a lot of reps, using lower weights, and you go after the "pump".

Or, you are a "pounder", meaning you do a low number of sets, a lower rep range, but you use as much weight as possible, so you are more concerned with getting stronger than getting a pump.

Lately, in the magazines you are having more and more people favoring "pumping" as opposed to "pounding".

The man that without a doubt made getting a "pump" the thing to do to build muscle mass is Arnold (no last name needed).

Especially since he made his famous "comment" about getting a pump in the movie "Pumping Iron", in addition to his very high volume workouts, many are led to believe that the way that Arnold built his incredible physique was through the "pump".

However, look closer at what really happened. You can read in any of his biographies that at the start of his bodybuilding career, all the way up until he pretty much came to America, Arnold was NOT a "pumper".

He was a "pounder". He trained with a "powerlifting"-style. He even competed in several powerlifting competitions.

By the time he came over to the States, he already weighed 240 pounds, before he started really following "pumping" routines.

His style of training was very "ballistic", fast rep speed, and very heavy weights.......just as he himself has said many times.

Well, he already was 240 pounds of muscle, the result of heavy lifting, NOT pumping.

Now, did he gain any additional muscle once he switched over to a pumping-style????

No! Look at all of his competition body weights.

The biggest he ever competed at was in the 230's.

Remember, he was already 240 from the heavy pounding back in his native country.

He gained the majority of his muscle mass from heavy lifting, "pounding"......NOT from pumping.

If pumping was the way to go to build and gain muscle mass weight, then Arnold should have gotten bigger, NOT maintain his current weight.

Most people make the mistake of looking at Arnold's body, his peaked biceps, massive chest, etc., and think that he built that by doing a ton of sets, chasing the "pump".

Well, all that managed to do for him was maintain the musculature that he built by heavy, powerlifting-style lifting at the beginning of his lifting career!!!

Who knows how big he would have gotten had he stuck to what made him big in the first place........"pounding"!

So, what are you, a "pumper", or a "pounder"???

Exercise is an activity many of us want to or mean to do but do not get around to, due to lack of time, self-defeating negativity or just plain laziness. But all is not lost -- solution is at hand if you invest in a good home gym.

The most important thing when buying a home gym is for you to first decide on your workout goals and requirements. There are different training methods for the various areas of your body, such as for your legs, calves, shoulders, chest, arms, back or abs etc. Some people exercise for overall fitness while others prefer to focus on toning and strengthening specific areas of their body. Depending on your focus and requirements your home gym equipment may be as simple as comprising of only barbells, weight-plates and racks, to more complex multi home gyms.

Simple home gym equipments such as power racks are suitable mainly for simple weight training exercises but they lack versatility. Multi home gyms allow variety in your fitness regimen. A good home gym lets you perform many types of exercises from bench press and leg curls to sit-ups and butterfly.

Another thing to consider is that home gyms are usually used by more than one user in the household, so it is more cost effective to purchase one that best meets all the users' requirements. It is more practical if the home gym provides more than one workstation with two or more weight stacks so that more than one user can workout at the same time.

Home gym equipments nowadays include frames, cables, pulleys and weight-plates. To ensure you purchase a good quality home gym, check that the frames are made of rustproof steel, and test the cables for strength and durability. It should have a good combination of weight-plates to suit different needs. The bench should be adjustable for perfect body positioning for different exercises. Also check whether the individual components come with a lifetime warranty.

Home gym costs can range from $350 to more than $3,500 depending on the complexities of your home gym equipment. You could also buy your home gym equipment in parts, and some brands even offer options for various additions. Buying home gyms can be mind-boggling so it is recommended that you go read up on home gym reviews by health and fitness experts to learn about the pros and cons of different home gym brands available on the market.
