I've recently started training. My concern is that apart from my biceps, I never feel the pump. I'm concerned that I will never get bigger as I don't get stiff and it feels like I haven't done anything when I leave the gym.

It does feel like I've done something in my biceps and shoulders, but thats it.

So, have I done my muscles any good? I'd love to feel the pump in my chest muscles but never do. In fact, any weights I do for my chest never leave my chest muscles feel satisfied.

I'm sure I'm lifting enough weight. I do 3 sets of 12 reps on everything and the last few reps are always hard especially on the last set.

I'm confused. I never feel it in my back muscles on the lat pulldown and the seated row either.

My technique is about as right as it can be. I'm not one of those that lift everything with my whole body. I always work the intended muscle(s) and nothing more.

Just not feeling satisfied all over, anybody else know what I mean? I'm worried I'm not actually going to gain.
