Does Muscle Soreness Mean Muscle Growth? (TRUTH HURTS)

Does Muscle Soreness Mean Muscle Growth? (TRUTH HURTS)

Alright today we-re covering the hotly contested topic of whether muscle soreness equates to an increase in muscle growth. Let-s get after it. So it-s fairly clear to see that there is no direct correlation between muscle damage and an increase in mass but that-s not what I-m arguing. My point is that soreness is the only reliable form of feedback we have that will give you insight on everything from whether you-re targeting the right muscles to how your body is recovering so while it-s not linked it-s critical for making gains. (remember you-re only one handy away)

I feel like I get better results when I get sore. Maybe just all in my head but I agree it-s a measurement on how well your working out. My fat ass hit a peak a couple months ago and just could lift more or loose any weight so the last couple weeks I-ve trained harder till I was sore for a couple days now I-m back to hitting weekly goals. It could just all be in my head. I was really overweight I-m 6-1- was at 240 with 32. 5% body fat now I-m at 212. 1lbs with 22% body fat over 8 months. I could of done better but my diet sucked I listened to the wrong people now I fast and have more energy and seeing more results.

Here is my problem, when i trained hard the first year i got sore. But then i hit the wall, i couldn't lift any more weight due to not having a training partner. (very shy)
I agree once the soreness stops so does the growing. I've watched videos & trained for many years on & off, & as the saying goes there's more than one way to skin a rabbit, This Ryan guy he definitely skinning that rabbit like a true professional. If your serious about weight training listen, watch & then copy this guy.

Every time I work out my elbows are so bad I can hardly lift my arms. The joints are so so bad. The pain sometimes can be unbearable and I'm unable to do anything for days and usually have to strap them up. This is why I'm struggling because even just heavy lifting general items make my elbows swell and get really inflamed. No idea what the feck to do about growing my arms now.

Creatine has been remarkable for reducing my pain. I don't know if there's a correlation or not and I'm too tired to Google search on my phone, so if you want to take time out of your busy schedule to answer this for me that would be exceptional. Seriously, though. Take creatine, no pain. Don't take creatine and I spend the next day asking my wife to do everything for me.

I personally never get sore. unless I actively do a ridiculous amount of volume (I'm not keen to spend 2 hours at the gym every session sorry.
Soreness is only 1 tool in the toolbox when measuring performance and if -you are training hard enough-
I personally just track my numbers. If the numbers go up, you are obviously making progress, sore or not sore.

Stopped at 2: 50 anti inflamatories DO NOT inhibit muscle growth anti inflamatories have no effect on the synthesising of protein I also love how you agree muscle soreness doesn't equal muscle growth but then you just throw all the science out the window and try to pass your opinion as fact this is horribly misguiding and factually incorrect

So do you train the same muscle if still sore? He said in the video maybe take a day or two longer to recover, but then in other places you get the idea he is sore all of the time. I'm one who gets sore easy and never get used to it like others do-probably genetics, so unless I take 3-4 days off at least, I will still be a bit sore.
reply

so are you saying if you don't get sore your not getting any muscle growth, then why is it I used to get sore when I was overweight and never did cardio, and now that I walk every day even after I train and on my days off I don't get sore anymore? but I built more muscle now that I added walking and I don't get sore anymore?
reply

Muscle growth happens when you simply cause a muscle to sustain more resistance than it's used to over a long period of time. Eat, rest and heal. You will plateau in strength and inherently, in size. Just figured out what resistance and how much of it is good for you. It's not rocket science people.
