“I don’t lift because it hurts” if you do it right, there’s zero pain involved, only difficult part is effort

No, c’mon that’s not true. We can’t just lie to newbies. It absolutely does hurt afterwards for the first year or two. They’re gonna wake up sore

If you aren’t sore after, you either aren’t a beginner or you didn’t really do anything. When you challenge your muscles in new ways, DOMS are a given

No pain no gain, seriously building muscle requires you to tear them apart first

Big difference between pain from an injury and pain from soreness. If you're training hard you should get sore, but an injury is entirely different and is not normal

waking up sore just means you didn’t get enough protein/sleep

Daddy, what? You’re actually trying to tell me that you’ve never felt sore 24-48 hours after lifting?

Agreed, but I think a lot of intermediates attribute their experience to not getting sore when in actuality they're not training hard enough/smart enough to make progress
