    problem with muscle growth?

    This is my setup
    Mon-legs
    tuesday-shoulders/tri's
    wedns-off
    thurs-back
    fri-off
    saturday-chest/biceps
    sunday-off

    Well I noticed my legs are always sore the day after.. I do a pretty high intense workout ..
    3-4x 8-10 leg press
    dead lifts 3-4 sets of 8-10
    leg extentions 3x15
    calf raises 3xburnout

    NOw when it comes to shoulders/tris
    DB military bench press 4x 8-10
    (the thing where you lift preacher bar up to chin) 3x 8-10
    front DB raises 3x15
    CLose grip bench press 3-4x 12
    Skull krushers 3x12

    **now notice this..i never get sore in my shoulders or triceps.. Am I doing something wrong?

    no being sore has nothing to do with anything dont worry about it but you should do squats for legs and do them first

    Agreed. But I would change things up, personally. Sometimes do squats first, sometimes do leg presses first, sometimes do deadlifts first, etc.

    pumps, soreness,

    if you are increasing weight or doing more reps, what does it matter?

    9 times out of 10 you will lose strength if you are losing muscle...IMO, only a newbie to resistance training could increase strength in a catabolic state...
