Dude outside, advise is needed.
I have heard that muscle has 'memory' and hence, we should not do the same routine work forever, there must be increased in speed, and/or weight etc.
When i do hand lifting (sorry i am very weak in the machine's name). I started off at 60 and currently forcing myself to take 60 x 3 sets, at 15 times each and 70 x 1 set at 10 times each. It has been a month already. I still cant just focus doing 70 for 3 sets. It happens for other lifting too. That being the case, will it affect my progress?
For abs, i do the chair exercise. Doing 150 separated in 3 sets. Any other way to loose abs fat?
Lastly, when i come back from gym recently, my muscle is ok. It is not as sore as i firstly joined gym despite i have increased lifting weight etc. Does that mean i have not been effectively working out?
Advise is needed.
thanks.
Muscle memory comes from the wiring of the neuromuscular system. Muscles which have experienced sarcoplasmic and mylofiblar hypertrophy have also wired themselves to the movement better. That has absolutely nothing to do with the routine.

Routines are constantly changed and focused around weaknesses of movement and muscle. A constant rotation to eliminate the bottlenecks. We play with T.U.T. to increase strength around a particular range of motion and promote increase muscular hypertrophy. T.U.T. have to be wisely used under sporting cases because it has a potential to slow an athlete down and mess recovery time, but for muscle building, controlled/slow eccentrics induce a tremendous amount of tearing into the muscle.
I have no idea what the hell you mean by hand lifting, and I'm going to assume you're masturbating.
If you masturbated with 60 strokes a session and then stop and did it for 3 sets at 15x each and 70x1 at 10x each, it has absolutely no meaning whatsoever. Thus your question I can't answer because I've no idea what the hell you're babbling about.
For abs, spot reduction doesn't work. Even if it does work, it's maybe a 5% working rate, and that's probably because of hypertrophy around the core region.
IF it's not as sore as the first time, it's still growing. Do you think that professional bodybuilders and powerlifters and weightlifters feel sore all the time when they go to the gym? I've ramped from 5-7-9-10-11 sessions in a single week. With that many sessions and if I feel sore constantly, I wouldn't be able to function let alone lift. Adaptation allows your body to work more efficiently thus reducing stabilization imbalances. If you'd like to constantly feel sore, you'd have to constantly lift at a load that's beyond your previous maximum. Progressive overloading on steroids. However, even though your main muscles have recovered, the supporting muscles are still not strong enough. When this happens, you just cannot, no matter how hardcore or how hard you may try, to increasing loading.
There.....I've simplified it all the way to levels where even absolutely idiots can understand. Bleah...wy do I do this anyway....
