If your making gains then good, switch up the exercises your doing

[Electricheadd]

I tend to not get all that sore when doing heavy weight low volume work either. Its perfectly normal.

Same here. And as soon as I start to increase the volume, the soreness comes back with a vengeance.

no pain , no gain

[AAOBob]

Once you are cruising along on all pros you won't have a lot of doms.

That first week though of legs..... yea....

[Electricheadd]

no pain , no gain

I actually think that old adage is wrong. I find I get much stronger when I don't completely destroy a muscle group. A few months ago I switched over to a full body workout 3 times a week vs a traditional 4 day body builder split. My strength has been progressing amazingly well even in a deficit, where before that I had been plateaued for months.

The saying should be "No intensity no gain."

Totally agree!

what do you mean by ''doms'' ??

[csb5731]

what do you mean by ''doms'' ??

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

Like being sore the day or two after a squat workout, when you can't walk down the stairs without holding on to both rails.

If he's making gains, why switch it up? And if he enjoys an exercise, adding an extra 1/2 a pound is switching it up.

OP, keep going as long as you are making gains. I'd love to NOT be sore.. and enjoy days that I'm not.

yeah well im not visible gains just small increases in weights every couple of weeks

[JohnSmeton]

if my body gets used to working out I dont have as much "good" pain in the muscles

youve got to be able to ditiguish betwene good pain and bad (injury-joint tendon) pain

maybe try going heavier where you fail at 8-12 reps?

well the all pros programme works in reps of 8-12 im trying my best to lift as heavy as i can its just i dont feel its good enough

[Vaylor]

And you would be wrong. As long continue to increase the weight of your lifts over time, then you will make muscle gains.

Simple as that.

Focus on form. As long as weight on the bar consistently and progressively is increased (along with weight on your body), then you're alright. Mechanism behind doms is not really known. Personally once my body has adapted to a new stimulus I get little to zero doms. I squat/bench/press/row pretty much 3 times a week using my 80-90% and I'm NEVER in any pain the next day. Slight soreness? Sometimes, but that's when I notice that I get less sleep than I normally would get. Adaption, proper nutrition, good sleep = very little doms for me, and I assume it's the same for many others.

Weight on the bar is going up? Good. I don't like being sore to where an activity the next day would be hindered because of my training the day prior....what would be the point then? Feel so sore you cannot move. What the hell good is the training then. (Imo).

If I have been doing a regime or programme consistently and I have a protein shake immediately after to help me recover I find that I rarely have any soreness
