This shit is so gnarly it feels like my muscles are going to explode when I lift. Ruining my workouts. Forearms constant brick mode all day. I look fucking huge but this doesn’t seem worth it lol. Is there a fix for this?

Dude only 25mg split half am/pm. Day one I took 25mg preworkout but the pump was too strong so I bumped the dose down. I’m in lineman training so I climb and my arms are getting crazy pumps, making it hard to function.

Even after dropping the dose it hasn’t helped

Take less. In all seriousness. I always go as high as I can tolerate but never above.

i am in a similar trade to linesman is respect of the physical labor aspect and let me tell you ,

on the var, i feel like i need like a hour to warm up my hands and forearms or they’re gonna burst. cramps, pumps, almost a stiffness in the wrist. but usually after the first hour or so , i am good to go , and i break out the short sleeves and my forearms resemble that of popeyes .

maybe try stretching at home before good ol stretch and flex, maybe try some taurine , i’d try just about everything other than dropping the var 😂

I did 100 mg a day for 16 weeks before and what helped me with taurine, 1 gallons of water for every 1.8 to 2.8 g grams of sodium id usually have around 5.6, 1:2 magnesium:calcium, and to consume more potassium than sodium.

Yes dude the forearm pumps are fucking brutal climbing lol like I’m worried I’m gonna lose the ability to use my hands and I’m gonna fall off and fucking die lmao. I decided to drop it for now and when I’m in ground school I’ll run it again. But I’ll definitely use taurine next go around.

I did 40 mgs a week for a month and what helped me with taurine, 1 gallons of water for every 2.8 g grams of sodium id usually have around 5.6, 1:2 magnesium:calcium, and to consume more potassium than sodium.
Were you going off of diet and supplements in regards to total sodium and electrolytes or are you just talking about adding in sodium and electrolyte supplements?

I just had to reduce my dosage from 100mg to 60-75mg….. leg day yesterday was fucking brutal. My lower back was so pumped I could barely walk and had to sit down between sets to alleviate the discomfort. I’m already supplementing with plenty taurine so will likely reduce further if the pumps keep hindering my workout.

Diet and supplements but I took a supplemental 1200 mg calcium and 400 mg magnesium because I consumed about 200 mg magnesium from my diet and this helped increase my strength a lot as well. I find that cramps are related to electrolyte intake and hydration so also make sure to keep you urine light yellowish.
