Ever felt so sore after a workout that even sitting on the toilet felt like an extreme sport? We’ve all been there. In this episode, we’re breaking down Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), why it happens, what it means for your training, and how to strike the right balance between pushing hard and knowing when to scale back.

You’ll learn the difference between good soreness and overdoing it, how to train smarter for long-term progress, and practical tips for easing back into training after a break, whether it’s from illness, travel, or life getting in the way. We’ll also talk about progressive overload, recovery strategies, and how muscle memory works, so you can get back on track without unnecessary setbacks.
