It is important that you as a bodybuilder learn how to listen to your body’s signals and understand what they are all about. The ground rule here is that pain is negative because pain will reduce what you possibly could have gained. This can also damage your body and give you even more pain, so I am not all in for the well known “no pain no gain” line. The bodybuilders in today’s society is training way to hard this results in that they use longer time to regain there muscles and they cannot train as often as they should. The pain only belongs when you are in a competition when you give everything your body can handle. On a normal training session you should however not train until your muscles starts to really hurt.
You only have to use common sense when you think about what pain gives you. The body gives the builder pain because it does not want to continue with what you are doing. In many cases the builder understands this but still they push their bodies to the limit on each training session. This can work fine a few times but if you do it often it will stop your progress and cause more pain, damages and other nasty things. If you are one of the pushing types try to take it easy on your body for a while and you will see a lot more progress, because your muscles will be able to heal and regain completely.
