true or false
true or false:
in order to know that you are obtaining the full benefits in a work out, you should be in pain the next day. some ppl have told me that since i don't feel sore hte next day after a workout that i'm not doing a "proper" workout and that i've just plateaued.. is this true? should one ALWAYS feel sore after a workout?? |

yeah, but i always count a little soreness as a good sign... or at least a useful way to tell which muscles are being used and how much... especially when switching my exercises round

Me too, a little bit of stiffness and the odd ache i like to take as a good workout, but too much indicates that i just messed up.
Soreness lasting 24-72 hours also indicates that there has been some minor muscle damage (beyond what you want), which isn't good for anyone. |

I say no to pain, but feeling a burn the next day is great. The way I understand it, you build muscle by breaking it down during the workout. Your muscle gets stronger during the rest period between workouts because it rebuilds itself and this causes the burning. The muscle fibers during the rebuilding phase come back stronger because your body knows these muscles need to be stronger in order to endure the workload that you are putting it through.
so no to pain, but yes to a burn and to soreness. of course, I could be completely wrong. |
