I'm ex-military, and workouts in the military were pretty much you go till you can't go anymore ( reach total muscle failure ) and the next day I could feel the effects ( I'd be sore ). I've recently started working out again ( been out of military for 5 years ) and instead of doing a military style workout I'm trying to find a set routine that utilizes weights and a total body workout. In my experiences so far I've found that by doing the workout recommended in routines I've found that I'm not feeling very sore the next day. I am reaching muscle failure during the workouts and feeling it immediately after the workouts, but no soreness. My question is, Am I getting anything out of it, if I'm not sore the next day?

Listen to your body or a program?

In my experience, after I start a new program and do it for about a week or so I don't feel sore the day after. Your body adapts to the routine very rapidly. I believe that as long as your training sessions are intense and you're going all out you do not need to be sore the next day to benefit from the training session.

How often do you guys recommend changing up your workout routines? I'm doing the exact same stuff (well, I up the weight when I can) but yeah, I'm not nearly as sore the day after as I was that first week. I was thinking every 6 weeks, change the exercises I do, but keep the body part rotation the same?
