6th week still sore

qualters Posts: 343 Joined: 2002/04/21	2002/05/23, 04:24 PM I am into my 6th week of the mass building program designed here at ft. I have noticed I am becoming sore the following day after lifting. Is this surprising? I have been lifting for years as well, or is this program just kickin my BUTT! Thanks BQ

This way I know that I trained the muscles effectively. Everybody is different, however exercise soreness is usually a good sign! Keep up the great work! -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

I wouldn't necessarily go adding additional exercises, weight, or reps to failure, to a workout that is producing results, just to get sore. I often get sore, but not always, about 50/50. However, my intensity is consistent. Diet, rest, supplements, hydration, and age (to name a few) can all influence this too. If you are having success with your plan and seeing results, roll with it. My workout partner conversely, is always remarking about how sore he is. Everyone is different.... -------------- Ischjli "Seven days without exercise makes one weak."

Lately though, I have been noticing that the rest of my body has been SLIGHTLY sore because I have been pushing myself very hard the last couple weeks.
