Is the statement, "no pain, no gain" accurate?

No pain or no gain is not necessarily a true or false. If you are always going for the burn and think you have to be in pain all the time then that is not true. However there is often times some pain associated with the progression that your body goes through; the different stages of progression to make yourself better. Let me clarify this for you; good pain and bad pain: good pain you feel it symetrically left and right. You feel it symetrically perhaps front and back. You feel it more in the belly in the center of the muscle. If not long lasting, there's no residual inflammation. Bad pain: clicking and popping associated with the pain, you know unilateral pain; you know just one elbow hurts or one knee hurts. Pain that persists. Pain that has redness and inflammation, and pain that is deep within the joint or at the tendon for an extended period of time. That is bad pain. So no pain, no gain depends what kind of pain we're talking about. Think about what would constitute good pain and that, to an extent, as long as it's within tolerable limits and your not overdoing it actually is desirable.
