Memorable Quotes:

"When it comes to DOMS and the soreness you get from training, there is a positive aspect to it. Being sore is not necessarily a bad thing at all. And if you are never sore after your training, the reality is you're probably not training intentionally enough or intensely enough."

"Your level of soreness does not determine how effective your workout was. Because your body's going to adapt. And the more it adapts, the more stress physically your body is going to be able to handle over time."
