No soreness yet working HARD

[Tyson2481]

Dont you guys hate when u work out a certain body part and it doesnt get sore the next day? I have a hard time with my bi's i work them harder and harder each time and sometimes i dont get sore i hate that shat cuz i feel like im gonna puke and i dont get sore what gives???

[ReX357]

3 second negatives. With those, I'm sure I'll be sore the next day.

[arnoldwannab]

no i don't get pissed at all, Just because you don't get sore doesn't mean that you had a bad workout. It simply means that you are in shape and/or you are getting enough protein to recover faster. Take it as a complement.



but...The feeling is reassuring

[J-Dogg]

Drop sets right down the dumbell rack works to finish them off, smokes them.

[HOLLYWOOD]

same thing with my bi's but i dropped the reps down to 4-6 and i think it's sparking something!

what do you work them with???

[Bigpup101]

EVERYDAY for the first year i worked out whatever body part i was on would be sore for 48 hours after i was done training it...i thought it was normal and that meant i was working it out good, i then upped my protein intake and the soreness is gone i only get that way time to time

Agreed

i usually warm up with some weak weight then i do the following always mixing itup

incline DB 3 sets 10-8-6
hammer curls 3 sets 10-8-6
straight bar curls 3 sets 10-8-6
preacher curls 3 sets 10-8-6
finish off with cable curls 3 sets 10-8-6

last week i puked and i sill dint get sore but it does make sense about the protein although i haven upped it a tad.

thats too much for that small muscle!

[arnoldwannab]

For sure, I try to only do 3 different exercise with about 4 sets in each.

I used to have a similar workout for my bis, but it is def over training your biceps. i would stick to 3 exerceises you like do ssets of 8-6-6, and do 2 second posative, 3 second negatives, and really be sure to squeeze at the top. Take it very slow and only do weight you can controll, not rocking back n forth, this will do wonders for u, i had the same problem u did, switched to this workout n im seeing my bicep grow with each workout. you can throw in on warmup of 12 if you like

[Warrior]

You could be grossly overtrained... you think you busted you ass but you are too burnt out to really know for sure...

The EDT approach always gets my arms beaten to hell - from the wrist up to the top of the tricep - like someone beat your arms with a bat. It's the Charles Staley approach... I have written of it a few times here. Its based on two big supersets for 20 minutes - NO REST. I do this for arms every once in awhile to really put them in pain. You can try your supersets like this:

[S-1]Standing Barbell Curl, 10 reps
[S-1]Standing Rope Extensions, 12-15 reps

[S-2]Seated Cambered Tri Extensions, 10 reps
[S-2]Standing Reverse Grip Cambered Curls, 12-15 reps

NO REST... do the first superset for a full 20 minutes... give your arms at least 5 minutes for the swelling to go down - and then start the final superset. This takes a lot of guts and motivation to make it all the way through... it's best done with a training partner of similar strength so you can fuk with each other about dropping the load your using

It hits all the fast-twitch, slow twitch and everything inbetween...

[Tyson2481]

im gonna try these thanks for the info guys

I do 20 sets for bi's, and they never get sore.

overtraining

[collar]

getting sore is a great feeling and satisfying
but you dont always have to get sore i believe ....

[needmorestrength]

once again soreness is not an indicator of growth. Just because your not sore doesn't mean you didn't tear those biceps!! Are you growing?
