Last couple of workouts I havnt felt a good burn when I was done. What should I do? Am I cheating? Should I keep going? Or should I put on more weight? But I must admit Im pretty close to using my max...I got no one to spot me ether. As for cheating Im pretty sure that Im not... whats your advise?

You can also increase the number of sets..Do 1 or 2 more sets on the day you feel you didn't get the burn..Also make sure that you are not over training.

Zealotes, I seldom get sore after my workout either. But I do get great burns during. If your warming up properly this is to be expected.

Hi again Zealotes, I agree with jpcorrao, more reps should do it for you.
