No need for soreness, but IF this was your very first workout ever, it would be quite odd not to feel a bit fucked up.


That said - I see no squats og deadlifts in there, and those are the major DOMS exercises for a newbie in my experience.

Maybe you used too light of weight...

Question... is that the order in which you performed the exercises?

would this happen to be the order you did each movement

also post what you will be doing the rest of the week

your first day reeks of not reading the faq

I honestly don't remember what order I did them in, I've since decided to switch my days/excersises according to motion, like a press day, curl day etc.

I was lifting to the point where on the last two/three sets of any given exercise I couldn't do anything past 5 reps, which I thought was correct.

Wait another day before you start freaking out...soreness doesn't usually set in for me until the second day after a workout (if at all). I'm also going to just echo one more time that soreness is not a good indicator of the effectiveness of your workout, nor is the "burn" you (may or may not) get during workout. Getting stronger, faster, bigger, etc. is your indicator.

You're on a good track by dividing your workouts into general motions, but "curl" should not be one of those motions! You most definitely don't need a "curl day". For that style of training, most people agree you should split your work into Push/Press, Pull, and Squat. Curls can be done on the Pull day, but you'd be wise to only do them after you've done some other things like maybe deads, rows, pullups, etc. Gotta have your priorities in the right place.

Don't listen to these guys. If you don't feel the burn the day after you're not FUCKING HARDCORE ENOUGH
