Do pump formulas actually improve workouts or are they mostly placebo

I’ve tried a few pump formulas The pumps feel better but strength didn’t really change

Honestly food and carbs give me better pumps than any supplement

Citrulline actually works for me Noticeably better blood flow on high-rep days

They’re nice for motivation but not necessary More of a feel good thing

Most pump supplements are overpriced Salt water and carbs do 80% of the job

I use them occasionally on arm days Makes the workout more enjoyable

Didn’t notice much difference Might depend on the ingredients and dosage

If you’re already hydrated and eating well the effect is pretty minor

Not essential for progress but if it gets you excited to train it’s not the worst purchase
