I have been trying to figure out for awhile what is the best workout method for me. I have been reading on these forums and looking on the internet, and finally settled on the BFL method. I purchased the book and have ready it, and just started my second week. I am trying to do the lifting part by the book but am doing my own cardio.

My question is this, I have read some of the posts in here from some people saying how sore they are, I haven't been sore really at all. I have reached a level of ten in probably 80 - 85% of my sets (muscle groups). I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. I have posted my workouts in my gym log, and would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and them and tell me if I am doing something wrong.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Mike - I posted in your gym log - my 2 cents!

Have a great day.

Hey you're doing great! I looked at your gym log and it looked a lot like mine. The only thing I can think is try increasing more in case you're underestimating what you can really do. The other thing is maybe you have a higher tolerance for pain.

I really do not get sore after working out anymore. After the first couple of times the only thing I get now is a little muscle stiffness that is gone after stretching. I am not one of those people who believes you must be sore to be doing good.....I know I am doing good on my last set when my arms are burning, my blood is pumping and I can't get that last rep up.

Thanks everyone for your advice and your responses, I appreciate it. I don't know why, I'm normally not like this, but ever since I started working out again I have been very indecisive and unsure whether I am doing things correctly.

Thanks again!

Though I don't think that you necessarily have to be in pain to be working hard, you might try switching up your exercises. I was never sore on my LBWO until I switched from leg extensions to squats and from leg curls to lunges. Then - OW! I've still never been sore on my UBWO and I know I'm lifting as much as I can at least as to my left arm, because it is at the point of failure.
