a soreness rule...or guidline perhaps

Budz08 · 01-27-2004, 01:47 PM

Do most of you feel that if you are not sore the next day from working out, that that workout was a waste? Should every work out leave you sore?

no and no.

Then how do u know you worked out good enough?

I know while I am doing it, if I set out to do x number of sets with x amount of weight for x number of reps and I succeed, then it was good enough.

There are times when I want to get sore, I actually have that goal in mind, I call it a "shock work-out", in fact I did it on arms my last work-out, my goal was to get them sore! And I did.

My point is, soreness is not necessary for hypertrophy to occur.
