Feeling pumped means to me that you are getting into the realm of metabolic fatique. The senstation that you are "pushing hard" is a function of this and not real indication of relative intensity. It's an oversimplification but.....if I were to take a good amount of time off, with the way I train, I could get sore as hell without ever approaching a pump.

Besides looking over the information we already have here my suggestions are to start training your lower body. Train heavier more often doing only a full body 3 times a week or an upper/lower split.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
