Never feel sore and not getting any bigger?

Never feel sore and not getting any bigger?Obvious answer: Work out harder and more But just listen for a moment I've been trying to lose weight for years and I've finally figured out a diet that works for me. Eating little to no carbs and cutting out 99% of my soda intake. I've lost about five pounds but I still have ten to go. I'm also lifting free weights daily and running when I can. When I lift, I lift until I cannot take the excruciating pain any longer. Admittedly this is only about fifteen to twenty minutes, but it's fifteen to twenty minutes of hard work and almost no rest between sets. When I try to do the 8-12 reps of 85%, 90%, 95% of my max weight with a minute or so rest in between I end up lifting for an hour and still never break a sweat. The shorter period of intense lifting seems to work better for me, as I've seen at least some results but I seem to have topped out at barely any growth. I usually run a 5k in 30 minutes, depending on how hard I want to push I can cut it down to about 22-23 minutes. I don't start sweating until at least three quarters of the way through. Either way I never feel sore the next day. My legs are fine, my arms are fine, my abs are fine. But I'm working out as hard as I can. So I must be doing something wrong, right? And is the lack of carbs the reason why I'm not getting any bigger? I have gone up ten pounds in weights since I started working out, so it's not like I'm still lifting the fifteens. If it makes any difference, I barely don't make the cut for Marfans Syndrome. My doctor says I just have really shitty joints and my arms and legs are a bit longer than they are supposed to be. Every time I lift or do squats I can feel my joints kind of "pop" in and out of place. I've told my doctor this and he said it was nothing to worry about, so I haven't. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light? Btw totally okay with "stop whining and get back to the gym" answers. I'm just curious. submitted by /u/Imjusthereforthedubs [link] [comments]
