I am just not getting sore... Should I?

I am about to enter the second week of 10's, and I still have not experienced any sorness. Here is my workout:

(A)
Leg Press
Incl. Press
Mil. Press
Pull Ups
Curls DB
Shrugs
Lying Tri Extentions

(B)
Dead Lift
Dips
DB Sh Press
Seated Row
Curls BB
Rev Tri Pull

I workout 2-a-days T-TH-S, (A) in the AM, (B) in the PM. I am sure the weights and RMs are pretty much right, as I find it the lifts to not be overly easy. For the 15's, I started out doing 1 set, as prescribed, but quickly ramped it up to 3 when I discovered it was very easy (and in HST, you do the max volume possible without burning out on your next workout, right?)

Now I am in the 10's, doing 3 sets for most of the movements, 2 for just a few like shoulder press and dips. The workouts feel fairly intense, as by the 3rd set, I am usually pumped, but I feel fully recovered the next day? From the FAQ, I understand it as:

If i am not sore at all, up the volume
If I am a little sore, and tired, then just right
If I am really sore, decrease volume

I feel like I have upped the volume as much as I can without going to failure or clustering. I even use the strictest form I can possibly muster, but all I get is very minor stiffness, mostly in my legs & shoulders.

Is it still too soon to be sore, or is it a possibility that my body just recovers well? Am I doing something wrong? Glutamine and creatine are the only supplements I really use.
 
You could always up the volume, but before I did that I would just try to up the intensity...but dont go to failure.

I know what you mean, eventually after you lift long enough you just dont get that sore. I have been lifting for 12 years and i dont get sore unless I really push it sometimes, or SD....or use exercises I haven't used in a while.

However soreness does not mean you are or are not growing.

maybe others can help you with this more than me.
