Does Sodium Matter When Trying to Gain Weight

I have been told to watch my sodium intake, but I have also heard that lifters need more salt for performance and pumps. When I am bulking and eating more food, my sodium naturally goes up. Does it really matter if I am not worried about blood pressure?

I find that I have much better workouts when I have a bit of salt in my pre workout meal. However, the water retention can make me look a bit soft in the mirror. I am trying to figure out the right balance for a natural athlete.

Do you guys track your sodium at all? Or do you just salt your food to taste and not worry about it? I am curious if anyone has noticed a significant difference in their strength or muscle fullness when they adjusted their salt intake.
