What is your favorite gym pump?

Okay, so yesterday I hit a heavy chest session after church and had to rush home to shower up before heading to a friend's to watch some football. I was just really happy with the pump. I do a variety of workout styles (one week is high volume, one week is high intensity, and one is just purely heavy weight) and obviously get a good pump from any of my volume workouts, but was just overly enjoying the pump from the heavy chest session.

It had me re-thinking back to some previous times and what my favorite gym pump comes from. I think anytime you do full body or combined workouts, you get the best of all worlds, so let's not factor those in (because who doesn't like to just get every muscle in their body pumped up? lol).

In the past, I'd always said arms. There's just something about having your biceps and triceps fully pumped. Delts and traps is fun, too, because the boulder shoulders just look awesome. Legs obviously have their place in this, too. And back can be awesome because you just feel SO wide.

But I think for me, it's now chest. I generally don't care too much about training chest, either. I do it, like all muscle groups, but don't really enjoy it. But along with the obvious chest pump, your delts get some action, as well as your tris from all of the pressing and then your bis get a little hit from crossovers.

So I've not concluded that the pump from a chest workout is my favorite.

What is yours? And why?
 
I love it all, so each day is special to me. I just want to achieve that pump in whatever I'm working!!
 
Its gonna sound weird for sure, But for me one of my highlights is my traps ,they stick up like mountians so when I go real heavy on barbell shrugs and get my traps all swollen and veiny I like that a lot.....second would have to be arms every once in a awhile I do Bi and tri together on a off day and make them phukers swollen painfull sore.
 
I think every answer is a valid answer.

I truly love every single pump, as well (except maybe forearms; I mean, they're kind of cool, but hands down have to be some of the most annoying lol).

I just greedily answered chest because I still get to hit multiple muscle groups when focusing on chest.

I love seeing the veins in my traps anytime I'm holding a heavy DB or BB.

Same but my traps and shoulders get swoll whenever I hit chest back or shoulders. Love the feeling and look
