Salt and pump in the gym

[Leangains4life]

Ok guys i strugle to get a pump sometimes even with tren.. I am hydrated. Im just diabetic and depensing on the amount of salt i eat it makes a huge diffrence

I eat veryc clean foods but when i add a slice of pizza preworkout or 2 slices during my day before working out the pump is crazy.. Lots of salt on a pizza.. I wont get the same pump if i eat 40g carbs from oats or rice.

Can someone explain the right way for salt? Because if its one thing i never check is sodium and i probably east 1000mg of sodium tops a day?

That's a super low amount of sodium. Go on YouTube, search RHINO'S RANTS CREATINE SUCKS.
It's actually a whole video by Stan efferding talking about the importance of sodium in athletes.

I use a huge amount of himalayan pink sea salt every day, and salt tabs in my water. Huge pumps and great vascularity always. I check BP regularly and it's always great.

I think Stan recommends somewhere around 2,000-4,000mg sodium per gallon of water you drink

That will work if you don't have bp issues to begin with.

Correct! Sorry for not specifying that in my original post. Sometimes I just assume if the person doesn't state any medical issues that there are not any.

Yes sodium affects bp in adverse ways so if you have high bp not a good idea to try this.

Check out the pink himalayan salt. That stuff tastes awesome and lots of good benefits from it.

Wonder where can I find that.

Every grocery store

I always include 1-3tsp of salt in my intra shake.

Good idea. There's a product out there called NUUN. They are electrolyte tabs you add to water, with some flavoring. Gives you sodium magnesium potassium and calcium I believe

May be worth a try. I go for some sea salt with iodine

Much like Gatorade?

I believe NUUN goes off same principle but better mix of electrolytes and without all the bullshit colorings in Gatorade.

Majority of people with high bp are already taking in more than 4,000mg of sodium...I know I was

Damn son. That's a killer load of sodium there

From the south. Every thing has salt on it not to mention all the hidden sodium like in deli meat. Look at the back of a pack of bologna next time your in the grocery store you'd be surprised.
