In my younger days one of my constant training goals was to challenge myself to be as sore as I could get. I knew that soreness doesn't necessarily indicate progress or growth but I knew that it meant I was pushing myself as hard as I could in the gym, and THAT means progress was inevitable(my diet has been top notch for a majority of my adult life. Now at the age of 37, while still being the biggest and most complete physique in most of the gyms I go in to, something happenned on saturday that has helped me chage my training perspectives and goals. I trained legs as hard as possible and they became sore later the same day and worse yesterday, and they have been in such pain that it has been hard to walk and even be on my feet. I realized that I NO LONGER LIKE THIS!! When I was 27 this would be awesome but know it just makes life difficult and since I am not planning to complete for a while if ever again I no longer need to push that hard since i have already gained all the mass my body can handle. (5'1, and 194 lbs @ 8-10% bf. Hard work, yes. Self destructive/self limiting training, No more. Different life, different perspectives I guess.
