Is this a back pump?

[Guest]

I've read threads over the years talking about back pumps, but since I never had an issue with them just moved on. Didn't really understand what they were. Lately, though, every time I do something Deadlift'y, my lower back is getting so freaking tight. Wednesday was the tightest it's ever been. Technique has been verified, so I'm starting to wonder if this is becoming a thing for me. I've seen others recommend Taurine pre-workout, so I guess I'll do a trial of a few grams.

Yes what you describe is the famous back pump.

Thanks. I've been having them the past few weeks and kept telling my coaches I didn't know wtf was going on with my lower back. They didn't really respond but probably thought, "yea, I know what you're doing."

I get them bad. It hurts to even walk sometimes after a workout. Couldn't even deadlift one time they were so bad.

Are we talking about from orals?

Had them real bad doing rack pulls the other day. Had to cut the sets short. Sadness.

I had them years ago when I was in my heaviest nandrolone and dianabol phase. Then about 10 years ago when I was brewing my own masteron, EQ and Test I had them bad. Not just back but legs and calves.

dbol over 10mg does this to me.

10mg is still an effective dose imo

Fuck sakes, I'm getting back pumps from just making the bed.

I get them in my forearms after a bicep workout. It feels like a bad charlie horse. It hurts and limits what I can do because if I don't straighten my arms then it locks up again. I've had it happen to my chest after chest day.
