**Pumping exercise** refers to high-repetition, moderate-weight resistance training that increases blood flow to specific muscles, creating a temporary "pump" or swelling. This effect is caused by enhanced circulation and muscle cell hydration during intense contractions. Often used by bodybuilders, pumping exercises improve muscle tone, vascularity, and the mind-muscle connection. While the pump is temporary, the increased nutrient delivery and metabolic stress support long-term muscle growth and recovery. Common examples include bicep curls, lateral raises, and cable flyes. Incorporating pump-focused sets at the end of a workout can enhance aesthetics and boost overall training results.
