Ever felt that fiery sensation flooding your muscles during an intense workout, or woken up to the tender aftermath of a fitness frenzy? Join me, Rob Maxwell, as we unravel the mysteries of exercise-induced discomfort and the real story behind lactic acid and muscle soreness. Sort out the beneficial pains from the signals of potential harm, as we demystify the burn of lactic acid buildup – a misunderstood byproduct of your muscles' hard work, not a distress call of damage. I'll guide you through embracing this discomfort as a sign of your fast-twitch fibers rising to the challenge, and why lactic acid isn't the culprit in your post-workout aches.

Navigating joint pains and distinguishing between tendonitis and tendonosis can be as complex as the exercises causing them. In this informative session, we dissect common joint injuries, muscle soreness, and the phenomenon of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), clarifying its role in muscle adaptation rather than as a red flag for overexertion. Discover why soreness shouldn't dictate the success of your workout and how moving through the discomfort can actually propel your recovery. By the end of our time together, you'll be equipped with the strategies to manage pain, optimize your training, and emerge as a more educated and resilient athlete.
