I don't get sore

RR41mag · Dec 1, 2006

I have progressed in my weights and am very happy with what I see. I just don't get sore. Is this normal?

Sure is. Your body has adapted.

How long have you been doing your routine for? Like Tony said, your body has adapted.

I still get sore but sometimes I overwork myself.. I like the feeling

sore doesn't equal 'good workout'

at most you should feel a little achey the next day. not painful.

How long have you been doing the same routine? The human body is a very smart machine and will adapt to a workout every 4-6 weeks.

Soreness isn't a good indicator of growth.

What if you feel a bit achey the next day, and the day after that when you're gonna hit the gym? Time to drop some volume?

I started working out in July and have steadily increased my weights. Ex: bench press 100lbs X10 now I'm doing 230 10X. Thats machine though, I just used it for eaxmple. I'm trying to go sstricktly free weights but the place I go workout sometimes I can't.

If you're not plateauing then there's no problem. However, if you are, then change up your routine.
