-----------------------------------
If you aren't getting sore, then chances are you are not going to absolute failure. I'm not knocking you by any means, but at 19, you likely don't have significant experience in the gym and the mental and physical capabilities to push to extreme limits, and this is reflected somewhat in the weights you are using and body measurements. We have to start somewhere, so do take that as anything personal, it is just the way it is...we've all been there, but with increased knowledge and experience, consistent progressive training and adherence to a solid nutritional protocol you will soon see the muscle getting packed on and will be able to apply innovative training techniques that you know work for you, which will get you from point A to point B faster.
You need to treat every single rep of every single set like it is your last. Consistently testing your physical and mental limits and either progressing in weight, reps, or volume will yield to consistent gains.
Haha- good ol' Layne I remember when he was still a small 19 yr old kid on Mind and Muscle... Wow he has come a long way.
I love this program and really like the idea of using different set and rep schemes and a variety of loads and angles to be able to train each muscle multiple times per week in a different way each time.
