post workout soreness

Luvthemtorts Posts: 190 Joined: 2005/02/16	2005/02/21, 02:48 PM I have just started my weight training regimen this past week and was expecting to be quite sore the days following my workouts. Thus far I have not experienced any soreness to speak of. I feel that I am training hard and am using enough weight and repitions so that I reach total failure by the end of the last two sets. Does the lack of aching mucsles mean I am not pushing myself hard enough? I feel if I push any harder I will have a stroke or something since I am exerting myself so much already. Thanks in advance

	2005/02/22, 09:41 AM DOMS is not a requirement...it's not a badge of accomplishment...some people don't get sore...as long as you're failing your sets at prescribed reps you're doing it right.... describe your typical workout...what do you do?
