We’ve all heard the phrase “no pain, no gain”—but when does pushing through pain help your progress, and when does it derail it?
In this episode of the EFM Health Club Podcast, Jason, Justin, and Wade dive into the physical and mental boundaries of pain, fatigue, and discomfort in training. We explore how to tell the difference between good discomfort and bad pain, the science behind DOMS vs. injury, and what your body is really telling you during illness, stress, and fatigue. Plus, we break down the “neck rule” for training while sick and discuss two surprising elements that influence how you experience pain: your mindset and your breathing.
Whether you’re a seasoned gym-goer or just starting out, this episode will help you learn how to train smarter—not just harder.
