    I'm no longer "feeling sore" the day or a few days after my workout.

    I thought it was because I needed to increase weight, which I did, which didn't work. I tried more reps with heavier weight, working until the muscles almost or did fail, which didn't work. I lowered the weight I was using and increased number of reps and number of sets to see if there was any difference, but to no avail. I know my technique is right, becauseI"m basically folloing everything my father says- he was a body builder in the 80s and 90s, and still weight trained up to a few years ago.

    I've felt "sore" once in the past month (I don't really remember ever getting sore), and it's starting to make me feel like I'm not making any progress.

    Ideas?

    Soreness doesn't mean jack. Don't worry about it.

    Assumption - soreness does not mean anything. Then what does? How do you gauge muscle recovery? If I use gain/loss in strength or mass, how do I seperate that from good/bad diet or training program?

    It's hard to gauge recovery. You can measure yourself for hyperthrophy and see if you become stronger for strength, but the rest is just listening to your body really. If you're still tired and less strong the next workout, you should take it easier.

    So assuming all things equal (no real change in diet or rest patterns) if from week to week you feel stonger or weaker (physically and mentally) it may be an indicator of recovery?

    Yes, if you feel weaker you're not recovering properly.

    You can't tell for sure of course, it could be something else, but that is a likely assumption.
