Soreness

Gators · Jan 31, 2009

Been back lifting for about a month, not getting very sore like i was, i assume that's common, or am i supposed to push it harder?

YOu know i have a lot of problems with my lats and i recently have been doing some extra exercises one armed lower weight, and boy have i been sore. I think the key is to be controlled and focus on the lift and the muscles being worked. I may be wrong but give it a try..

Guys, do not use soreness as a marker for a good workout. Not being sore can often be a good thing. Just do what you have to do, train heavy, train intensly and get out of the gym and go eat!!

Exactly. As long as you are improving lifts getting heavier, or more reps and what not than there isn't anything to worry about.
