Quick Question.. I've been back at the gym for about 6 months and have made some nice gains in size and strength. Night and day from when I fisrt started. Lately, Ive been getting alot more sore than usual. I would expect to get sore when starting out but at this stage in the game im wondering if I am over doing it. Typical routine is only 9 sets for chest, back and legs. 6 set for tris, bi's and shoulders. I work each body part every 4 days.
For the past few weeks. Ive been doing kind of like supersets with the first 3 sets of excercise. For example, Tricep pushdowns. Starting at maximum weight for 10-12 reps, dropping weight 20lbs then doing 8, dropping 20lbs doing another 5 reps. This would equal one set. It really gives the muscle maximum strain. I do three sets of these then change excercises to another standard tricep set. Like ropes or dips.
My real question is, is it normal for a muscle group to get decently sore this far into training? :scratch: Am I overdoing it with my suto supersets? sorry for long winded post.
