anyone else never really that sore? I’ll feel pumped and my legs will be sore for a few hours after training, maybe slightly sore the next day or two also, but I never wake up and I’m like I can’t walk or anything I see online. only when I started out

The longer you train the more you need to do as your body adding muscle tissue is protective. The whole point is to become resistant to the weight you are lifting. To cause structural changes you need to increase intensity and either weight volume or both.

I know soreness ≠ progress and my lifts improve still but I feel like I’m doing something wrong

Just means you’re used to it and not making as many tears in your muscles, which means your progress has likely slowed but also gotten more steady over time. You’ve broken out of beginner gains.

Probably normal if you’ve been lifting for a while just cause you’re used to it, but also do a sanity check that you’re pushing hard and enough to actually grow and tire yourself, not just lifting to get a pump and then leaving

Yeah, this is primarily an issue that arises when you get a good deal stronger, and you don’t add the full amount of weight you can now do to your next maximum. Pretty normal, arises out of humility, but it means you can probably lift more than you’re lifting.

Micro tears do not promote hypertrophy
