This is something I had to learn over the years.
People destroy themselves in the gym and wake up the next morning barely able to move thinking...
"I had a great workout."
But being sore isn't the goal.
Progress is the goal.
Are you getting stronger?
Are you adding reps?
Are you adding weight?
Is your form improving?
Is your body changing?
That's what I pay attention to.
You can make yourself sore doing a completely new workout every week.
But if you're constantly changing exercises and never tracking anything, how do you know you're actually progressing?
I would rather see you consistently getting stronger on the same movements than crawling out of the gym every day.
Train hard. Track your numbers. Recover. Come back stronger.
That's how you progress.
Be honest...
Do you still judge how good your workout was by how sore you are the next day?
