I think it’s extremely misleading and can be very dangerous if taken literally. I remember being a beginner to weightlifting, and I thought this rule was gospel. It made it so difficult to understand what exactly I should be feeling in the gym😣Should I feel my legs shaking? What about muscle spasms mid-set? How about so many ab crunches that I could barely get up from bed the next day?🥴 ⠀ I felt that I had to endure belittling pain to make progress. Little did I know I was always aching, never fully recovering, and INHIBITING muscle hypertrophy🌪 ⠀ ⭐️bad pain is not the goal⭐️. instead, focus on pain that brings about manageable discomfort - discomfort that will vary per person and per goal. This is coined as good pain🙃 ⠀ Here’s a little guideline that helped me over the years to distinguish between bad pain and good pain: ⠀ Are you recovering from your workouts within a day or two? - good pain🔥 ⠀ Are you feeling sharp pains that inhibit your range of motion? - bad pain💩 ⠀ Are you feeling a burning sensation in your muscles as you reach the end of your set? - good pain (this is lactic acid in your muscles)🔥 ⠀ Are you feeling an aching pain in areas where you’ve been injured before? - BAD pain!!!!💩💩💩 ⠀ Are you feeling especially sore after a new workout, but nothing that inhibits your daily actives? - good pain (this is your body acclimating to a new style of training/ change in intensity)🔥 ⠀ Are you unable to feel relief after several days of recovery (even taking measures to take anti-inflammatory meds, icing, stretching) - bad pain (this was the most common sign of over-exerting my body when I was new to training)💩 ⠀ ⠀ Overtime, you’ll find that you gain better intuitive insight on your training. This insight has helped me so much in the gym, from making progress to dropping my ego when it comes to lifting heavy💜」9月10日 6時38分
