Q: I have been doing a vertical bench press at 90 pounds now for 4 weeks but I am not able to go beyond 90 pounds.And I dont like to workout till i feel a burning sensation. If I do feel a burning I immediately stop. Is this a good idea. I do this cause I don't want to get injured.

A: Well, you certainly don't need to go to absolute muscular failure on exercises, but you do need to push yourself to some degree and you certainly should feel some muscle tiredness and discomfort in the last couple reps of any set. As long as you maintain good proper form, you will not suffer an injury. Eventually you will hit strength plateaus like this, but right now you just need to start pushing yourself more in the gym.
