I'm in week 6 of a ten-weeker. Pumps in gym are amazing... but can actually get painful in the shoulders and tricepts. Today I used a tight "under armor" shirt which provided mild but significant compression. It's far, far less than a bench shirt but it's compression nontheless.
After using some compression, I get virtually zero pump but my work-out went great. Numbers looked good and I failed where I normally fail in terms of sets/reps. I'm back home now, and I have no pain in my shoulders or tricepts.
Think the compression shirt, in preventing "pumps", will also hurt my gains?
