Getting your Pump on is a term used in the fitness and body building world to refer to pumping up a specific body part.
When I first started working in the industry, we used to go out as a gym team most weekends. We'd meet at the gym before we went out and have a pump session.
It was basically a workout that focussed on the mirror muscles, chest and arms mainly. To get some blood flow going through them and increase the size, albeit temporarily.
The reason - the chicks digged it. Well in our heads they did.
Although on a primal level, we were doing the right thing; bigger arms and a more solid chest suggests a better mate. That was definitely the aim in those days ;)
With that in mind and because I'm spending most of the day prancing around topless at a spa day, todays exercise is Press Ups.
40 reps again, slowly if possible. If you do them in 8 sets of 5 thats cool.
