Scary Pumps: Agmatine Sulfate Explained
Agmatine Sulfate may sound like an exotic compound, but in reality, it's a derivative of the amino acid L-arginine, synthesized through decarboxylation. While it might not be a household name, it plays a pivotal role in enhancing your workouts and, most notably, in the realm of muscle pumps.
Understanding Agmatine Sulfate
Agmatine Sulfate, chemically derived from L-arginine, is known for its potent nitric oxide (NO) boosting abilities. Agmatine seems to increase NO levels by suppressing the enzyme arginase. Arginase breaks down NO in the body, so by lowering arginase levels, NO levels rise. Nitric oxide serves as a vasodilator, meaning it relaxes and widens blood vessels. This phenomenon leads to increased blood flow, which translates into several benefits during exercise.
Nitric Oxide And the Pump
Increasing vasodilation during exercise eases the flow of blood to working muscles during resistance training. This improvement in blood flow allows blood to pool in working muscles giving a fuller/volumized effect, making the lifter literally look bigger and more muscular. Obviously this visual effect explains why so many lifters head to the gym to chase a muscle pump, but outside of looking bigger and fuller in the gym, why should anyone trying to grow muscle care about facilitating the pump?
Agmatine Sulfate and Muscle Growth
By improving nutrient and oxygen delivery to working tissues, the process of muscle synthesis becomes more efficient, helping to outpace the degradation of muscle fibers (i.e. breakdown). This outperformance of breakdown by synthesis is the foundational mechanism of hypertrophy. Accomplishing a greater rate of synthesis to breakdown relies on several factors: adequate protein intake, resistance training with progressive overload, ample recovery and sleep, as well as the ever alluring "pump". Essentially, by creating a nutrient rich environment with a pump, the metabolic process of growing lean tissue is further enhanced.
