not getting sore anymore

[zachary39]

so I started lifting weights for the first time after I got a gym membership ahead of the new years. The first 3 weeks I was getting sore daily. I read this is good and means I’m getting good results.

Now I’m not getting sore as much. Does this mean I am not trying hard enough anymore?

your body has become more conditioned and smart. so it knows what to expect

if you completely revamped your workout you would get sore again.

soreness is a shock to your body.

if you're not sore , change your routine and increase reps

sometimes soreness can mean a good workout but it doesn't necesarily mean a thing.

No.

Did you increase workout load? If so, it is expected to happen or else change your routine

 

[Tiger Salman Khan]

Change your training routine....or take a short break and start again with new routine....

Soreness doesn’t dictates a good workout or not.

 

[RoySimpson]

Body is getting used to workouts... mix it up!

 

[MasonicBodybuilder]

Not getting sore does not mean you are not getting good workouts in at all. If you want to get sore then completely switch up your routine.

If you want to get sore, train one muscle until you can’t pickup another weight. Train beyond failure every set. You’ll get sore, prob get hurt, but sore!
