Pain = Good?

Since increasing the weights I use during my work outs (currently at 11KG) and incorporated "To Failure" reps, I have the joy of enduring severe pain in my arms for 2 hours after a work out.

But apparently this is a good thing?!

Here comes to logic as to why you suffer and why you should keep enduring it.

The pain you feel is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, DOMS for short. The occurs when you've pushed your muscles further then are happy with. The stress causes microscopic tears in your muscle fibres, more so during the lowering part of a move. These tears your body will repairs and is rebuilt bigger and stronger so that your muscles can cope with lifting the weight next time.

As protein helps you build more muscle it will help reduce the duration of your agony.

In short pain from muscle work out is good, have some chicken after it to shorten the duration of searing pain, keep going and you will get bigger and stronger.

CHILDREN COVER YOUR EYES FOR THIS FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH

For the guys out there that read this and had a stroke of genius to enhance a particular muscle of their's. I just want to say, will not be blamed for any embarrassing injuries you get because you are all jerking it until it hurts then going through the drive through of KFC. That's your choice...but I will however laugh lol!
