When you don't get sore after a workout

[spesmilitis]

When you don't get sore after a workout, it because you recovered well? Or are the muscles still damaged, but you just can't feel it? If it is recovery, could you increase the number of sets/exersices you do a week?

If you increase the sets/exercises you'll probably end up overtraining. Stick to what has worked for you until you're no longer progressing. Only then should you change things around.

Can I Prevent Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness?
While DOMS is common and annoying, it is not a necessary part of getting into shape. There are many things you can do to prevent, avoid and shorten DOMS. Here are a few tips:

* Warm up thoroughly before activity
* Cool down completely after exercise
* Perform easy stretching before
* Perform thorough flexibility exercises after exercise, while the muscles are warm
* Start with easy to moderate activity and build up your intensity over time
* Avoid making sudden major changes in the type of exercise you do
* Avoid making sudden major changes in the amount of time that you exercise

That was from that link.

Either that, or you probably need to up the intensity.

In my experience, eating properly and getting rest is the most important factor in avoiding soreness.
