hey people im unsure if my form is off or if im just not lifting heavy enough, but when im in the gym i dont really get sore. fo example

today i done a chests and tri like this
5x5 the numbers tell how many eps i got each set

flat bench 5,5,5,5,4
incline bench 5,5,5,5,4 only due to adding weight last two setson both
dips 5,5,5,5,5 need to buy a belt to add weight
skull crushers 5,4, elbow had sharp pain so tied 3 set but no luck
close grip bench 5,5,5,3,3
flys 5,5,5,5,5 will bump weight next time


but i dont feel sore or tired after that , i sometimes get a bit out of breath

does this mean im not working well as i always struggle the last 2-3 on each set


advise apprieciated thanks

thats for my tri aswell , and like i said it still aint making me sore

what would you recomend for tri and chest day mate?

Well id be inclined to say you must be tired when doing them m8 or you would be getting your 5x5's done without failing...Some people react different to workouts but maybe your expecting too much by way of feeling..Personally when I do my legs I feel totally n utterly wipped out but chest,back etc etc isnt near as bad..But its not to say you havent trained them correctly..Do you see a difference in your size/strength?? how much rest are you having between sets...Do you alternate your workouts?
It could be a combination of things m8...

i have only been training a shot while and like 6 weeks or so and i spent the first monthdoing 2x 20 to ensure my muscles,tendons etc were not prone to injury. but also i havent really been thinking of getting that much biggar as im 168lbs at the moment and thats what i fight at i could probs try going up but i dont eat enough, i was hopeing id loose a bit of the flab and also look better be stronger.

The thing is m8,it is SOO fecking hard to get a decent size and I dont believe anyone would say otherwise..Yeh there are some very gifted genetic people out there but the majority of the people that train,takes years upon years m8...Hindsight I made the mistake of putting on too much weight and not concentraing on putting muscle on.Bulking up i thought was the answer but it wasnt...Its a learning curve and some see light at the end of it,others simply dont and keep on trying n trying...
But you need to understand first n foremost,its gonna take you years upon years to get any type of decent shape...Gotta to be init for the long haul m8,simple...You get out what you put in

yeah mate, by decent shape i mean id like to feel comftable wit my top off lol i can wait for the rest i have started a log with pics every two weeks and im measureing my self every 4 weeks, weight wise im to fussed as long as im getting better as you said its a long haul so weighing myself everyday wont make a diffrence lol

a friend of mine gained alot of mass in like 18 months but he eats rubbish ill try post the pics but his whole famly are in decent shape so another genetic freak lol

thanks for the advise keep and eye on ere and ill show you his gains

What you need to remember m8,is everyone is built differently..Genetics play a massive role...Trying to compare yourself to someone who is fortunate to have good genetics is a recipe for disaster..You could hammer yourself into the ground and never reach half of what they achieve..The thing you do is work with what you have got and try n get the best out of it....Your still in the early stages m8 and dont go hell for leather,you have years to build some foundation and knowledge then put it into practise..Time my friend time
