Unbearable burn during workout.

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/05/11, 08:02 PM Whenever I do exercises such as side deltoid raises and leg extensions(I do dropsets on the leg extensions) I find that the burn that I get is just unbearable! I mean seriously it really burns. I wouldn't say that it hurts because I know that this would be bad. The very intense burn usually goes away after a couple of seconds, but I was just wondering if this was normal. I hope nobody makes fun of me for this, but one time when I was doing Deltoid Raises, I really felt like crying because of the tremendous amount of effort I was putting out and the burn was so intense. Is this common? What should I do? Lower the weight maybe? DX

Also could just be lactic acid buildup. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored. The world is mine now and forever.No one holds command over me. No man. No god. I am ANIMAL! and that is enough.

By the time I get to the last 10 my abs are hurting and taking the breath outta me, despite my attempts to inhale down and exhale up.
