have a really hard workout, and I&#8217;ll really be pushing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And afterwards, I&#8217;m not that sore compared to what I would expect myself to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other times I&#8217;ll be doing a workout, and it&#8217;s hard but it&#8217;s not necessarily my hardest workout ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the next day I wake up and I can&#8217;t move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

be so hard that it can feel like you actually were injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as time goes by, it becomes almost like an old friend, and you can clearly distinguish the difference between muscle soreness and an actual injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in closing, for most of us, muscle soreness isn&#8217;t something that&#8217;s going away if you&#8217;re training at high intensities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it&#8217;s one of those things where it hurts, but it hurts in a good way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you&#8217;ve ever gone out there and had a really high intensity workout and were really sore, and as much as it hurt the next day, it hurt in a good way, you understand exactly what I&#8217;m talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So don&#8217;t be afraid to be a little bit sore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go out there, train hard, know I believe in you, and as always, Excelsior!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a
