Where the soreness went?

[Deleted member 117187]

Idk why but lately the soreness in my biceps doesn't happen anymore. Every other muscle no problem destroying and 2 days later the part is useless for any activity.
But biceps eh.
When I work them I go until I can straiten my arms, pump brings me to almost to tears.
Any one has the same issue and able to fix it?

I have had this problem in the past. What I did was switch the order of my exercises. Switched the way I work them (slower negatives, rep ranges, Isotension-see John Meadow videos)

I have really went through that many times, possibly stop chasing the pump and change weeks light weight weeks then to heavy weeks. Hope that works for you!

Sirenens tells you that the muscle isn't used to this or that kind of training or wharever it may be.
When you stop getting sore, your muscle has adjusted itself to whatever its been exposés to.

Switch training program, take a week off from the gym to shock the muscle again. There is diffrent ways to adress the issue.

Its all about keeping the quessing, not doing the same thing over and over again..

I don't think you need to be sore to know you working the muscle, I don't get sore much at all and I've gained a good bit of muscle this year. Ronnie said he hadn't got sore in 20 yrs. to me it's about having the proper recovery through the right amount of nutrients to eliminate being sore so you can train it again sooner

Like others suggested, try changing your entire bicep routine with new exercises and heavier weight. Do you ever utilize drop sets in to your routine?

I haven't had sore bi's in years and they kept growing. I think it was my recovery from each workout though. I believe I read somewhere from JM that if your diet is on track, pre, intra, post, your recovery is going to be better. I also read that you don't have to be sore to grow.

Soreness isn't going to make you grow. I believe in very little volume for bis as they are a small muscle, but a lot more frequency of training. Hit them 3x/wk but only 3-6 sets per workout and different exercises each workout. Go for a strong peak contraction and squeeze at the top with a 3 seconds hold on each rep, then take each negative down real slow(5 second negative). Use perfect form and try to keep wrists bent downward to take the forearm out of play. Don't use your front delt to pull it up, no swinging.

My biceps and delts never get sore

Soreness is not usually the end-all-be-all indicator for a good workout...

Thank you everyone for input. Lots of great stuff. I'm gonna change it up to less volume heavier weight and more frequency.
