Pumping Up Backstage!
When it comes to backstage prep to look vascular, pumped and very full, there are a few steps and tricks that will help bring out veins and get the veins very dialated and that muscle about to pop look.
1.) choosing your pump up simple sugar(candy) Sugar replenishes glycogen in the muscle tissue as we all know so inducing a high amount of sugar triggers a insulin spike and blows the veins out my protocol i found for me is this.....4oz of strawberry gatoraid 4oz of strawberry fanta(shake the fanta and make it flat carbanation will make you look bloated) and half of a hersheys chocolate bar.....I explode with veins my muscles get extremely dense and full almost 5-8mins while pumping up.
2.) Supplements very crucial.....L-arginine 5000mg 45mins before stage, 30mins to stage B-6(niacin)300mg you want the flush kind......after you try this you will know whydo a test run 
3.) Pumping up make sure to squeeze the muscle force as much blood into the muscle as possible...NO NEED TO PUMP LEGS!!!
There you have it!!!

Great info. Could I substitute dextrose powder for the fanta and candy?
Ah, PapaSwole Prep Secrets aren't so secret anymore!
Glad this new format didn't happen 2 weeks ago! LOL ;-P
Papa Gave me these tricks a few weeks ago. Be sure to do a test run or 2 like he said and get your timing and amounts down.
1.) I used Gatorade (32oz) and Milk Chocolate bars (1.5) maybe too much while pumping?
Had to re-pump after running to store for USA Today I forgot!!! (Stupid, should have just taken the shots
and got it later, but was running out of time to submit and still had to get Mrs.Fit's pics done!
Very stressful!
2.) I used L-Arginine 3000mg 30 mins before pumping, I was a lil confused with the B-6\Niacin (w/Flush)
cause I have Niacin and B6. So I took 2000 Niacin and 400 B6 (4X the dosage on the bottle).
Vascularity was on, big and bold all day, then got bigger!
The Niacin Flush will make you tingle/Itch/turn red/and heat up! Adjust your dosage as needed!
3.) The pump went great 30-50% working weight, squeezing the reps 15-20. Pump was on, vascularity was
ridiculous!
Then the newspaper fiasco! LOL ;-P
I have to say the 1 week out nutrition\water plan he gave me, made a BIG difference! The whole week prior to pics my muscles stayed hard, my skin was tight, and my veins were bulging!
If I didn't mess up the prep for pics with the delay, the images would have scared children! LOL ;-P
