NO PAIN NO GAIN......Anyone who has been around a gym for awhile has heard this saying many times. While there is truth to it, there are different kinds of pain. If you are just starting your journey with weight training you will probably experience some “good” pain after your first few workouts. The severity will depend on how hard you challenge yourself.
Start off easy and don’t push yourself too hard. Too many sets, repetitions or too high of intensity will give you DMOS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Weight training causes minute damage to the muscles at the cellular level. While this does not sound good, aside from the soreness it is not harmful. In fact the muscles react the repeated stress on the muscles by coming back stronger and denser. It’s actually how you improve when combined with good nutrition. DMOS may last for your first few workouts but will decrease in severity as you continue to train. Many seasoned trainers look forward to mild muscle soreness after a challenging workout. DMOS can also be present when changing your workout routine or after and extended layoff.
Another type of pain that is not harmful and can actually feel good when you have trained for awhile is the lactic acid burn. When you are repping it out with the weights and contracting the muscles there is energy being used, and waste products that come from that energy consumption by the muscles. One of these waste products is called lactic acid and can cause a burning sensation in the muscles being used. It is a temporary pain that goes away quickly after the muscle is allowed to rest. A trainer who does higher repetitions and chases the muscle pump (engorging the targeted muscle with blood) will often experience lactic acid buildup. Sometimes the actual muscle pump can also be painful as the muscle is so full of blood the fascia that encases the muscle fibers can be stretched, which encourages growth.
There are also pains that are not so good and here are a few. Use caution while training with any joint pain. If you have a previous injury or a joint condition talk to a trainer about ways to train around it. Different exercises, traction versus compression, higher reps, different angles are all ways that may lessen the pain.
Repeated training loads that are too heavy can cause cumulative damage to joints, tendons and ligaments. If you are training and always have a dull aches around certain joints or areas and it seems to take a lot of warm up sets for it to go away it may be time for a scheduled break, a change in routine or a repetition increase/weight decrease.
Muscle tears can happen to any athlete and gym goers are no different although it is rare. If you feel pain or an immediate burning sensation in a muscle when training stop immediately and ice it. If there is bruising or discoloration you may have torn a muscle and should seek medical attention.
Over extending a muscles range of motion can cause tendon or muscle pain and damage and is most common with hamstrings, low back, pectoralis, lower biceps and shoulders. Know your range of motion and if trying to increase it do it gradually.
High level athletes are there because they have a high level of pain tolerance. This will increase with repeated training and intensity but it’s important to be able to distinguish between a good productive pain and one that may be detrimental to your progress. No pain no gain does hold merit but train smart!

Been training for awhile and not seeing the results you expected? Recovery could be the problem. Your muscles don't grow while you are training, the grow while you are recovering. Training stresses the muscles and triggers the growth stimulus. The actual growth comes during the rest days in between, the food, the consistency and sleep.
When starting it is common to just think about the training as being all that is needed. There is more. Take in enough protein, take enough time to recover between body parts, get enough sleep and you will see much more progress.
Also make sure your training is intense enough to actually trigger muscle growth. You don't need endless sets and long drawn out workouts. If your training to failure drop the junk volume, warm up and do a few hard sets of each exercise. Less sets and more effort.
You can get lots of variety in your training but more is not always better. Less volume, more intensity, higher quality training/nutrition and recovery may give you better results.

DO YOU TALK YOURSELF OUT OF TRAINING?
Have you ever thought about joining a gym only to talk yourself out of it? I have had quite a few conversations with people over this. Many people who don’t train want to, it’s just getting started. Here are a few of the common reasons I hear and my thoughts on them.
“I’m not strong enough to go to the gym. Everyone there will be stronger than me.” That’s physical strength and anyone can increase theirs. Happens quick with regular training. Equally impressive is the strength it takes to walk into the door of a gym for the first time. To enter the unfamiliar and try something new-out of your realm. Takes strength to train day after day-week after week when you have family, commitments, work even though we all know that when we are at our best we are better at it all.
“I don’t know how to train and I’m afraid I’ll look silly or stupid.” Stop in someday at peak time and sit back and observe. Ever see the faces being made when someone is pushing themselves to the limit on a heavy squat, deadlift or bench? We have silly all wrapped up.
“ I don’t have the time to go to the gym”. You have 24 hours, I have 24 hours, Arnold Schwarzenegger has 24 hours, we all have 24 hours a day. Its how you use it, prioritize it. That’s 168 hours a week. You can do wonders for your health and fitness with 3 hours a week. It’s not a commitment, it’s an investment....in you. Plus the better shape you are in the more you can get done in all other areas of your life.
“Wish I would have started when I was younger, I’m too old now”. Think about how active you are now compared to 10-20-30 years ago. As we get older we do less. Not because we have to but because we let ourselves become less active. This is your chance to get back in the game. To do something physical that you can do. After a few months of training the muscles wake up..they thrive again. You will feel the exhilaration of a good workout. The sense of accomplishment as your strength and endurance increase. One of the most “alive” feelings is after a challenging workout. Every sense is on high alert. Endorphins are flowing. Stress is burned off. The feeling of well being and energy will last for hours. Your not too old to start-your too old not to!
“I can’t afford it”. Yes times are tight and we have to watch our expenses, but your health is not an expense it is an investment. By training and eating good you are warding off sickness and disease. Sickness and disease is an expense...financially, physically, mentally. Training in the vast majority of gyms equals less than a couple of dollars a day.
“Lifting weights is boring and I can’s stay motivated”. I seldom hear this from someone who really has taken the time to learn how to train. There are so many ways to hit the muscles. So many different machines, techniques, principals, routines. When you get beyond the rookie stage of training it never gets old.
You can come up with an endless amount of reasons not to train but if you want to get in great shape in just a few hours a week give the iron a try....You may become hooked on something you can do and enjoy for life.

INTIMIDATION and the GYM
Occasionally I will hear from someone that they would love to join the gym but are too intimidated to do so. Reasons vary-could be they don’t feel like they are in good enough shape, not strong enough, don’t know how to use the equipment, etc.
Awhile back I had a lady tell me she was not comfortable training around “so many big guys banging the weights around”. We discussed this in length and was pleasantly surprised when she informed me this week that it is no longer an issue with her.
I explained to her that while it may initially look intimidating it is more about the goals of these athletes and the levels they are at. If some one has been training for years and has a goal of advanced levels of strength they are going to be moving heavy weights and it may not always be quiet. Heavy deadlifts can be noisy, racking the bar after the last rep on a set of heavy squats can be loud. It’s the nature of the game and with in reason it is part of the athletes improvement. It has nothing to do with looking for attention of showing off. It has to do striving to be better.
No one expects an elite runner to run slower, a pro hockey player to check easier, a football player to tackle softer. Its part of the game-part of the sport and in the gym it’s no different. Athletes pushing them selves with the tools of the trade looking for that 1% better, that edge.
When people get past that first initial stereotype or pre-conceived images and thoughts they usually see that they are here for the same reason as the regulars. The goals may be different but the reason is the same. Self improvement. It’s the reason that you will see such a variety of people in a gym. Huge strong male athletes training for maximum strength and muscle, teens training for more speed strength for a high school sport, moms and dads keeping the energy levels up to work and raise a family, seniors staying strong and healthy.
Intimidation usually stems from unfamiliarity and being new to a gym. Get past that and join the family of self improvement, fitness and health!
