I've been working out for the last few months and aside from riding lots of hills on the road bike, I haven't been able to really feel the pain in the gym... Until a few weeks ago anyway, a long time friend of my father's started working out with us and showed me what self inflicted torture feels like.
On monday's we do a burn out set, where you start with regular weights and keep lifting until you can go no more, then your partner takes some weight off, rinse, repeat. This ends up being five or six sets of ten (roughly). By the time you're done you can barely lift the bar and it takes a near herculean effort just to lather your shoulders in the shower.
The good news, though, is that I can already start to see progress and muscle growth. I'm not going for full on hypertrophy to look like the hulk, just not the scrawny programmer guy.
