It is a barbaric practice to start counting when you start to feel pain. It is this kind of exercise that makes Ali's legend, because no pains, no gains. However, not all pain in fitness is good and should be welcomed, because pain is a self-protection mechanism of the human body after all. When it appears, it will certainly send some important information to the outside world. Some information will convey the joy and pain after exercise, and some information will convey the pain caused by physical injury.
Let's take a look at the soreness that often occurs during exercise. During exercise, the speed of lactic acid production by muscle activity will be accelerated, which makes the circulatory system unable to take lactic acid away like normal people, thus causing lactic acid accumulation. When lactic acid accumulates to a certain extent, it will form soreness.
In reality, many people often give up exercise because of this feeling, which is actually wrong. At this time, increasing the amount of exercise properly can effectively promote the decomposition of lactic acid and help the body recover.
In addition, the process of muscle gain is actually a process of muscle tearing and recovery, so the appearance of soreness is actually a good thing, indicating that your exercise has reached a certain intensity. However, if the pain is not soreness, but a pain that will last for a period of time after exercise, then the pain may not be lactic acid accumulation, but a slight injury to muscle fibers or ligaments. At this time, you should reduce the amount of exercise or the range of movements so as not to aggravate the pain.
If the pain escalates further, you may feel numb. At this time, it is not a question of reduction, but a question of stopping. Hemp is the last protective signal from the body. It sends us a message: the numb part has lost some of its sensory and motor functions, and if we continue to practice, it will easily lead to more injuries.
According to the classification, soreness actually belongs to muscle tearing, and pain numbness belongs to excessive exercise. The former will recover enough after rest and become stronger after more practice. The latter, after rest, will not become stronger, but will become weaker and weaker.
When studying sports, I once wrote:? Spiritual civilization, physical brutality. ? Physical exercise still needs to dare to be barbaric in order to achieve better results. However, everything should be measured, and the result may not only be beneficial, but also more harmful. Specific to muscle gain, injuries often warn us in advance through pain. We should know all kinds of pains and know their corresponding measures, so that muscles can really grow wildly.
