Hello,

I'm 2 months into a bulking phase, and I've noticed that on days that I work my chest I don't get pumps during the workout (in fact, I can even do pushups after the workout and my chest doesn't feel worked at all), but the next day my chest is as sore as the other bodyparts I was working the previous day. This is the only muscle group I have this problem with - all the other muscle groups either begin to feel sore shortly after the workout, or not at all, even the next day. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is there anything I might be doing wrong?

Thanks for any advice.

Pumps have nothing to do with getting sore, and vice versa.. and neither of them are an indicator of a stimulating workout - all you have to worry about is putting more weight or reps on the bar over time. If you're gaining strength, then soreness and pumps are neither here nor there.

pumps just make me sad that i go back to being a tiny ruckus when it wears off
