Don't get me wrong; the weight during the workout is good, and I feel like I'm about to be squished while I'm actually doing the reps. I just don't feel sore/tired afterward. Am I just used to the 3x5 program and being sore all the time? Most gym days I have trouble making it up the stairs for the rest of the day. After today's workout, I just feel totally fine. Is this normal?
