If you\u2019re into weightlifting, you\u2019ve become very acquainted with sore muscles.

You\u2019ve done many reps of the \u201chalf-squat-toilet-fall.\u201d

You\u2019ve had the \u201cis this just muscle soreness or am I actually dying?\u201d thoughts.

And maybe you\u2019ve even gone full Stockholm syndrome and now crave the daily debilitation.

Well, I\u2019ve been there, I\u2019ve learned some things, and now I\u2019m going to pass on those lessons.

You see, like many people, I used to think muscle soreness was pretty black and white.

I assumed that sore muscles were a sign that I was doing something right, and the more sore I was, the more effective my workouts were.

(And as a corollary, I worried that workouts that produced little soreness also produced little results.)

Well, it turns out it\u2019s not that simple.

Years ago, I used to do workouts that produced a tremendous amount of muscle soreness\u2026and I made mediocre (at best) gains.

After dramatically changing the way I trained, however, I experienced far less muscle soreness but made far better progress.

In this episode, I\u2019m going to explain why that is and what you need to know about sore muscles and training to optimize your results.
