In the legendary film Pumping Iron, Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about how creating an intense muscle pump compares favourably to the euphoria brought about by having sex! Now, while I am not sure I can quite get fully onboard with that thought process, I definitely agree that engorging the target muscle(s) with large quantities of blood during a balls-to-the-wall workout is certainly a special feeling.
