as the great jaejonna would say "discuss"
im talking if i spend a long time crushing a bodypart with negatives, heavy weights, and drop sets and no soreness? usually i can get sore id say about 85 percent of the time, but that 15 percent of the time that i dont get sore i feel like i possibly didnt push hard enough to get sore....i dont know but im still the man of course im not stepping down from my king of the world throne anytime soon :o

Could be overtraining, I have experienced this and heard others say it as well.

i know right!!!! over this year alone i have had to progress on the volume and intensity everyfuckin workout! if i dont i just get stale, this means more freakin time in the gym. i swear when im 50 ill probably have to workout 5 hours of drop sets and negatives to even get sore

if you work out on a regular basis and drink plenty of fluids..soreness doesn't exists..if it does it's usually a precursor to injury.

i dont think so man, i think it would be undertraining.
-

i dont think most would agree with you on that.
-
again that's from personal experience....just depends on how hard you work apparenlty.

where is your proof to back up such an irrational statement?
-
Actually I agree w/texasRUSH's statement w/just 1 exception.You need to have protein in there also to repair what damage you have done to the muscles trained.It seems to be that way for me in my own training.Can do anything (training style wise) to stress the muscle after my initial soreness yet never ever get extreme soreness in the muscles afterwards.I may get dull aches or the like but never actually sore.
-
I only get sore when I change exercises or don't eat enough.
The degree of soreness isn't a criteria for progress.

OMG SARCASM!
and if it's not...you're asking me to prove how training, eating, etc. the right way prevents muscle soreness?
Shouldn't my biceps be sore from yesterday if that was the case? Instead of the usual 6 sets I did 12 to blast the hell outta them for one good workout...
this morning...no soreness. So either I have no idea wth i'm doing and i'm making it up or you clowns don't know shit... ;D
I'd hafta go with what sculpter said too...I don't get sore unless I do something dramatic in my training or try a new exercise my body hasn't adjusted to yet...but if you're sore EVERY workout...i'd hafta say you're overtraining or don't know wtf you're doing.

That right there is one of the few BIG things you guys have preached here for years!
-
The degree of soreness isn't a criteria for progress.
Most bodybuilders have such a hard time accepting that as a fact. I hear it so often but why then is my instictual reaction to contemplate over what I did wrong during my workout when I don't get sore?

You may not be eating enough. I have noticed that I only get sore when I have a good workout, and I eat plenty so my body has the right building materials. If I don't eat enough, then I don't get sore, and I don't getbig. When you are working out, try to make sure you are cramping up your targeted muscles. Then stretch the cramp out and repeat. This should make you nice and sore. ;D
-
what happened to people not agreeing with me?
a 6pack doesn't count as a meal dw..maybe you shoudl mix in some eas packets with that booze.

try cutting the rest between sets to approx 30 secs while trying to move the same weight.. the reps will drop but you'll be sore.. count on it.

Why do u care about being sore??
-
if you work out on a regular basis and drink plenty of fluids..soreness doesn't exists..if it does it's usually a precursor to injury.
When I trained 6 days straight out of the week, no soreness to speak of. When I would take a few days off and then on my first day back = soreness. Similar warmup each time.
I put soreness down to the muscles not being ready to take the load. Those that train twice a week and stretch alot I doubt hardly ever have soreness.
-
As far as muscle soreness is concerned, my training partners and I experienced the same thing. All around the same time. Regardless of what new technique we implemented or how hard we pushed ourselves, we could no longer get sore, for the life of us. I'd be curious to know what the reason for this could be.
-
maybe your body is adapting to the workout? ??? ;D
or you're not smoking enough pot and drinking enough beer...
dude..seriously...mr.get big secrets revealed right here ladies and gentlemen! 8)
-
Adaptation was our initial assumption, hence the changes in the workout. These changes, however, resulted in no additional soreness. Perhaps I'll try the beer and smokes ;D ;)

change rep ranges, try rest pause, drop sets, etc....
change more than just the exercises and/or order of exercises...

We had incorporated drop sets, negatives, less rest time, altered our rep ranges, numerous things. Nothing seemed to work. I came to believe that this was just something that happened after you'd been hard at it for a while. :)

Very odd...
9 years and i get sore after 90% of my workouts...

not being sore the day after working out is fine...in fact for me that is normal, ...it seems that the lactic acid doesnt cause any pain untill two days after i workout...and then it sowly drains as the muscle repairs....
if i wasnt getting sore at all, i would try working out all my muscles every day, because if they arent sore, than they are already repaired....and i could put on muscle like nobodies business.
but thats me &&& how my body works.....dont know about you guys.
i suggest you just turn up the intensity up a bit.
-
i swear when im 50 ill probably have to workout 5 hours of drop sets and negatives to even get sore
If I did 5 hours of any exercise (except running of course :-*), I would be in traction--LOL.
If you all think soreness is a criteria for a good workout-- then just change up your routine-- and it will happen. Try something else ---with bands or medicine balls and do more functional moves-- Do rest pause-- that always gets me!
-
change your workouts around keep a diary SORENESS IS KEY! we love it! as bodybuilders we must get DOMS IMO
-drop sets
-10 sets method
-volume
-intensity
just get DOMS if it doesn't work change it around so you get SORE because we instinctively wake up in the morning if it hurts it was a good workout
Good Luck and get sore its key!

I used to not get as sore in my Lats when i did back workouts....
So before back day...which is ussually Chest day...I do 50 chins...then go into chest..this is what Victor Martienez has been doing for a while...It works everytime...
Whatever muscle group isnt getting sore, just hit one exercise 4 sets a day before you concentrate on it.
