Re: workout intensity?
[ QUOTE ]
Is this standard and I am expecting too much out of myself, or do I need to do something different to increase the intensity of my workouts?

Jeff, you certainly don't need to go to failure to progress. Soreness also isn't an indicator of the quality of your workout. I am barely sore from my workouts, but somehow I am able to progress.
Also, pump doesn't do anything for you except that feeling everyone likes. While it can mean that you blasted your muscles good, you can also get a pump lifting light weights for a ton of reps. It is not the indicator of a quality workout.
