"Some degree of soreness is normal when you train hard or challenge your muscles in new ways. It’s a natural effect known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which peaks typically within 48 hours post-exercise. This occurs because putting higher demands than usual on muscles can lead to tissue breakdown, prompting an inflammatory response. While this may cause discomfort, it is part of how muscles grow stronger."
"The soreness you feel is just the swelling and immune cells coming in to clean up muscle breakdown, which puts pressure on your nerves. It is essential to pay attention to the level of soreness. If it's mild (around a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10), it's usually okay to continue workouts, but if it's more than that, listen to your body and allow recovery time."
