INTENSITY

jsxtreme · 09-12-2007, 08:40 AM

So for the last couple of weeks I kinda hit a roadblock in my lifting. I just couldn't get that good sore feeling after I lifted. It felt like I wasn't doing any work, and I havent been losing any weight.

Well that all changed on Monday. Monday I did chest, and I'm still sore this morning. I did back yesterday and holy crap its on fire this morning. I just figured out that I'm going to have to use the machines a little more, since I lift by myself. That way I can really up the weight, and the intensity. I find the more I lift, the harder I have to push myself to see gains. Is that the case for you guys as well?

O and I renewed the gym memebership yesterday.

I did Al's and LittleMags "skull crushers" that they recommended to me. I did them one Sunday, and I felt them stabbing me until Wednesday. I always feel those because they kil me. I start to get used to bicep, and chest stuff really fast. I increased the weight and I felt sore again. I could do the same reps and sets, so I knew I had gained strength.

Keep renewing that membership and keep striving to get to your goals every month!!!

I don't get sore unless I am walking out of the gym miserable and barely able to move.

So yeah, I have to really punish myself to make any gains.

Good to know I'm not the only one that has to push it to the limits to get that feeling.

I hate lifting in the morning. I am always significantly weaker when I try and lift early in the AM. Cardio...ok. Lifting, no.

I've only lifted in the A.M. Late morning though, like 9/10. I like it. I have more energy, plus I guess its what I am use too.

Thats what I figured. I could never bounce out of bed that early and go lift either.
