In this video, I explain why soreness doesn’t automatically mean your workout was good or bad, how novelty and stimulus are often confused, and why chasing soreness can actually slow your progress. You’ll learn when soreness can be a useful sign, when it’s a distraction, and how to focus on progressive stimulus instead of unnecessary stress.

🔺Stimulate, don’t annihilate.
Be fit. Live free.
