jrock645- That`s interesting to me how you get the bloat...doesn`t seem to bug you all that much but it sounds like something I wouldn`t like.
Glad you recognized the change in methodology factoring in with regard to the poundages. "Did I get the targeted muscles sore?" is pretty much my only concern and IMO even that is probably making a mountain out of a molehill.
IMO most people oughta max out their potential within a few years and more or less be in maintenance mode for most of their lives. Maintaining that DOMS effect at each workout is enough of a long-term challenge for me, figure it`s overkill but indicative of maintaining sufficient intensity.
I gather that some people get so discouraged by a perception of "no progress " that they actually quit exercising! Sounds utterly irrational to me, but I know at least two people like that IRL. So far they`ve always resumed exercising eventually, but they`re sure making it hard on themselves IMO.
