No longer sore after workouts...?

[NickB]

I've stopped getting sore after my workouts. Makes me feel like I've been doing something wrong but ive increased my weights and have kept form nicely.

Is something wrong/bad? :\

This actually happened to me a while back. When I was a complete absolute friggan newbie to lifting, I would go in and do the same exact thing every single day... at first I made some gains and got sore.. but after a little while I no longer got sore... no matter how I worked out.. I took a 2 month break (more like I got lazy) and came back.. using various routines for variation.. I always get sore now.

Thats was my experience anyways.

Do not use soreness as a guage for a successful work-out or an indication of growth.

It may be very true that you need to change your routine if progress has halteed or maybe even take a week off from training.

However, not being sore means very little. It's a gym myth that continues to be perpetuated today, and it is just that, a myth.

well, that is great, but if you keep pushing yourself to the point of being sore every work-out you will end up in a sate of overtraining.
