Results=Pain….not quite

The old adage “No pain, no gain” has been what a lot of people of used to motivate them to keep going to the gym. Now if that works then I don’t have much of a problem with it. The only thing you will have to do is take care of the pain when you notice you are not as strong as you normally are. Usually that means you are overtraining which is pushing the muscle to the point where it is exhausted and can not be broken down. You are not going to be in danger of tearing a muscle but you are going to need to rest with no questions asked. The more pain you have does not equal results. I once had an inflammation in my chest and shoulder that really slowed me down. If it wasn’t for the massage and constant stretching I would have probably missed a month. Pain hurts and like I have said there is a fine line between the two. You can’t be afraid of that though, pain isn’t a bad thing but it’s all about your pain tolerance. I luckily have a lot of it, but now I complain a little bit more than I used to.
