pain after training

ive always been under the impression that acheing for a few days after training was a good thing and i am usually dissapointed if a muscle group isnt painfull the next day. does it mean your workout has been sucesful if you ache after training ?
 
If i take you out back, and throw you against a wall 100 times, and u r sore, is it necessarily a good thing?

Your muscles do not have to be sore to grow. In fact, it's probably best they aren't sore, because when you get sore you overdue it. If you find that your no longer increasing, then it's time to switch your routine up.
 
when you work outt you tear muscle fibers right? A day or two later they hurt. As time goes on, your body learns to cope with the DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) better.

You can have a great workout and have DOMS, but it is not an indicator of a good workout, understand? Overtraining can cause pain, so can proper training.
 
That feeling is your body releasing liquids onto your muscles, they only do that when first working out. I never get soar any more, ever. Sometimes my muscle will be tired the next day, but thats it.

Your body stops releasing these liquids as soon as it adapts to the workouts.
 
a little stiffness, and minor soreness is normal. but actual pain means you did too much. (this of course doesn't quite apply to the brand new trainee, who, doing two sets, may feel almost crippled for the first couple weeks til their body gets used to it).

the level of soreness certainly does NOT equate to how good the workout was.

Can you explain that a bit?

He's refering to lactic acid buildup. It can be minimized by regularily breathing during exercises. Lactic acid builds up when there is not enough oxygen to initiate the maximum potency of the ATP cycle, so you feel sore.

So yeah. How about them Yankees?
