In this week's podcast, I discuss muscle soreness and its relationship to muscle growth. Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is often misunderstood and is not necessarily an indicator of a good workout. I explain muscle damage and recovery and discuss what truly is the primary driver of muscle growth. I unpack the type of training that is effective and why a focus on progressive overload while limiting excessive soreness is key.
