thanks mel..that made a lot of sense. i have been on 10-12lb weight for lat raises, forward raises( forgot what they are called) and presses. i have been here for a long time. i do 2 sets of 10 at #10 and have started adding 1 set of #12 which i have a hard time finishing. i kept think...why can't i increase the weight???? thanks for answering that question.
This morning I'm having issues with (bear with me here) the clavicular head of pectoralis major. It's actually tender to touch. I find this encouraging. I've done all kinds of exercises and things for a couple of years now and that's new. I figure I'm making some progress in the shoulder area. Push ups?

I'm glad you posted, because that is one of the muscles where I am still sore after my chest workout on Monday.
Oh, that's the same one I had sore on Sunday! Guess we're doing okay, huh? I'm gone now til 8/6 or so (actually fly home night of 8/5) and won't have any time as we'll be on a friend's 28' boat. The last 3 days I'm at a conference, but should have lots of walking time, esp to and from the conference site from the hotel.
Oh, how strange. Our IT guy was here this morning and a lot of weird things are now showing up/happening on my computer. This avatar is one I had at least 4 years ago, and my number of posts is obviously back from 1999! It's still me though!!
EDIT: Figured it out. Since I lost all of my stored logins/passwords, I had to log in today. Obviously I have an account as Water Rat and another as WaterRat. Soooo, choices, photo or flag. Hmmmmm
well i bumped up to 2 sets of 12lbs and 1 set of 10 for shoulders, could barely finish but not even sore today????
I have the same issue with my UBW's. By the time I finish my arms are shaking and I have a hard time opening the car door. Next day - no soreness (or extremely little). I usually do a sort of whole upper body type thing rather than concentrating on 2-3 muscle groups. Would it help if I did more of a split?
Soon2be... it means that I love to have sore chest muscles ... any muscle that is sore, to me means that I have had a good workout... I know, call me silly ...

Oh!
I don't get sore muscles during and after I lift. I have to go slow because there is no warning - no sore muscles. What I get instead is a slight ache when I need to stop. The next day there are no aches or pains.
I do have a weaker leg so I get a strained feeling in the lateral muscles the day after leg work. However that only lasts about 4 hours during the day after. It actually goes away with cardio. But that is the only sign I've done any strength training.
