lifting, no more pain?

[▼)Ñ╩fZΣµ& 10+ year member]

3-4 weeks ago i started lifting weights, everyday , doing chest 1 day, arms, legs, back, shoulders, etc have a rotation

and i would destroy whatever i was working on, and the next morning it was tight, and sore pretty good..

now after 3-4 weeks i am going up in weight changing my exercises up, rotation between high reps, and low reps..

and now it doesnt burn at all when i wake up, so i dont really know if im actually ripping the muscle, or working it hard enough. but when im lifting i lift till it drops.. then lift some more.

but no soreness in the morning?? why? are the exercises doin anything?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Your body tends to get used to the abuse and copes with it better. I have been lifting for 6 years and I barely feel sore after my workouts anymore unless I go at it super hard

you body is just used to the latic acid being in your muscules. you are still growing, its just what happens and you should be happy about it.

The human body adapts..and this is just another way it adapts. After a while doing a repetitive motion, it becomes used to the routine and will stop burning. But you are still working out the muscles..

it burned the first time because you had probably been away for a while.. when you don't work something out for a while it will burn the next few times then stop

ok, i do change the lifts as much as i can, to give it a shock, but the weight is heavy but i feel no pain in the morning thats all..

im 19, was reading in my biology book, that with creatine and b12 will give you that extra energy able to keep you going longer, than regular lactic acid buildup

like it will allow more phosphate bindings or some crazy shit, which will allow you to go longer with more energy.. idk i read t but forgot

but when im lifting i feel i can just keep going alll dayyy if i take a 2 min break after each set, the muscles dont hurt but they cant lift lol....

BASICALLY nothing hurts at all, but my muscles like give out

lol...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif i have no idea

I know what you mean, when I was heavy into lifting it would be very discouraging because you feel as if you're not accomplishing something. But what I would always tell myself was, if I'm still seeing gains, why stop?

It almost sounds like your over training. Are you going for size/strength or definition?

not over training, just want to bulk up, build muscle

simple, im an average white mesomorph 6' 175 and want to put more mass on all major muscle groups,

i know it doesnt happen in 1 months time but im ok with that, if i keep going everyday work a different muscle group, get enough sleep, i should see decent results in half a year, and longer the better i suppose..

definitaly sounds like over training and maybe hitting a plateau. take a couple day break then hit it hard again. you should see some good gains after the break

not plateau yet, i know when that comes.. the feeling of that

not there yet..

i think ill just keep doing this, and go lighter weight and do tons more reps.. for the last month its all been the heaviest weight i can do for 10 reps, and i see a definite difference in size, but ill go reps now and work the different muscle groups?

if you want soreness you need to push yourself harder and longer everyday you work out. I coach high school wrestling and the first 2 months of pre-season, training is hell for the kids b/c most of them don't work out on their own. I make sure they know that I know where their breaking point is. example, if i make them do sprints for 30 min on monday and they are dying, I know when i make them do sprints on wednesday we can go for atleast 40 min b/c they survived 30 min. if i have my 125lb wrestler benching 80lbs non stop for 1 min, i know i can make him do 90lbs for the same time a couple days later. you push harder and always think of how small the jump in either weight, rep, or time, i.e it's just 10 mins more, just 10 more pounds.

You're all over the road and setting yourself up for failure. If trying to add size stick to the basic compound movements, train 2-3 times per week, get more sleep, and increase calories.

A muscle does one of 3 things: gets stronger, gets weaker, or stays the same. Pick a rep range that you like and focus on getting stronger over the next 6 months. Put in the effort to add 20-50#'s to all your lifts and you'll get bigger. Poundage progression is the key...

i wouldnt go more reps. if anything i would do 4-5 reps in sets of 85% of max, 90% 95%,and one more at 95% or more. this has been proven to be the best way to increase size and strength.

ive been lifting seriously for 5 years now and i still get sore when i go with this plan
