Many people incorrectly stop doing an exercise because they
don’t ‘feel it’ in the area or muscle they are expecting. This is an incorrect
method of thinking as it is unlikely that the intended muscle(s) are not being
used if the exercise is being performed correctly. The most common reason for
not feeling the exercise is simply not using enough weight to stimulate the
muscle. That is not to say you should lift a heavy weight straight away, just
that it you may not feel it until you are stronger. Therefore, you should
continue with the exercise, adding weight regularly and in time you should then
feel the muscle(s) working.
Conversely, just because a muscle or area feels fatigued or
sore the next day it does not mean you have hit the required muscle properly. A common area for this is the lower back as
it is often a weak area and is therefore regularly given excessive stress due
to poor exercise execution.
