Abs not sore?

lewdog_55 Posts: 383 Joined: 2002/01/23	2002/02/17, 11:40 AM MY question is how come the day after i do my ab workout, why arent my abs sore? Usually the day after you lift your muscles are sore. Why wouldnt my abs be the same way??

If so, then you may be sore later on. I took one week off after completing the 8-week program. I started another 8 week program last week and I am still sore from working on my chest 3 days ago! Sometimes, the soreness hits later on and sometimes lasts longer than usual. But, just because you're not sore the next day doesn't necessarily mean that you didn't get a good workout!

It's only when I work against weight (or a lot isometric work) that I can feel a slight pain the next day. Honestly I wouldn't bother too much about it. I still got my six pack so I guess that what I'm doing works... You should be okey.

I don't know why it is but for some reason I never get sore. Back in high school I worked my caboose off in the gym and never felt the tiniest bit sore. I have talked to tons of people about it and they say I just have good genetics or something. Could be the same with you.
