Not getting sore anymore

[xzibit]

For some reason I'm not getting sore. I tried adding extra weight, but my arms just get tired for a while, then I'm not sore anymore a while later. When I try to workout again later (because I'm not sore) I can't. The weird thing is I'm not even sore! Does anyone know what's going on?

Doesn't necessarily mean you're doing anything wrong, so long as you're progressing normally with weight amounts, size, etc. However, it could be an indicator that it's time to change your workout.

yeah, soreness in itself is not a very important factor in determining effectiveness.

Soarness doesn't necessarily mean growth...
I believe soarness is usually a lactic acid build up in your muslces... actually prolongs recovery. But I know what you mean... it feels so much better when you are aching the next day.. its so much more of a satisfying feeling

Change my workout? what do you mean? Do different exercises? All I know is bench press, curls, pull ups, dips, and push ups. I have this little gym called TKO (pretty cool ). Do you know a site that'll show me some exercises, with pics? thanks.

bench press, curls, pull ups, dips, and push ups

Ahhhhh! Thats all you do? Goto http://www.exrx.net and look up some more excersices....
You are going to build some muscular imbalances if you don't do a little more for your back and legs...

I agree bro.

Yep, change it up. Shock your body.

I'm trying some new stuff, pretty good site, thanks DrBones. My wrists are killing me though, they feel like they're gonna break they make a lot of popping and cracking noises. Should I get some kind of gloves to help my wrists?

Gloves are for girls and Citruscide.

There are a ton of different workouts on this board alone. Do a little searching and try a new one. It's time you branched out and found new toys to play with.
