[QUOTE="FeelingLost, post: 109327, member: 15131"] I have attempted 6-8 reps but I don't seem to get a pump from them or the feeling that work has been done. I don't feel fatigued. Maybe it's because I am so new to gyms and weight lifting but I don't feel blood filling any of my muscles until about the 4 set of 12. So the 4th 5th and 6th sets are really important to me. Theres a pump, I'm fatigued and sore the next day. Its the only time I feel like growth is happening. I'm not arguing with you just explaining what happens to me in the gym as I learn how all this stuff works. I was extremely careful for the first 5-6weeks when I started out I worried about tendons and joints. But now I am pushing some pretty heavy weights, for me anyway. I am worried if I go heavier I will develop shoulder problems. Post workout shoulder pain is my current limiting factor. On eating veggies or carbs for that matter. 6 or so months ago I had a big thread going on my diet where I was mostly eating protien and carbs almost no good or bad fats. It was determined during that thread I should cut the carbs back and up my good fats which is what I have been doing ever since that discussion. I do eat veggies they are all raw and in my giant lunch salad that I eat every day. I've been working with Madman via PM's and have come up with something new to try which is back to eating low GI carbs and cutting the fats. I am willing to try that again if it will help me with my muscle gains. Like I saif before I have trouble getting a muscle pump and carbs are suppose to help that. So the plan right now is up the carbs but also watch the daily calories as Nashtide suggests. [/QUOTE]
