So that's the process that you kind of have to understand.
A pump is just a temporary extra blood flow to the area that feels good.
You're pumped up, you feel tight, but you could get a lightweight and get a great pump.
It's not going to stimulate any growth.
So don't be fooled by the pump.
It's nice and it's part of the process, but you've got to overload the muscle.
You've got to give it...
more than it's used to.
The body does not want to change.
It wants to keep status quo.
So you've got to give it a bloody good reason, as we would say in England, to change, right?
So you've got to put more stress on the body than it's used to.
Otherwise, you won't adapt.
So even if it's like...
You know, half a pound more or one rep more.
There's got to be something more that the body says, hey, this stress, I can't handle it.
I need to reinforce myself and adapt to this stress so next time it won't be so stressful.
That's basically the process.
And it can't be...
Linear forever, right?
