Soreness, aka Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is A indication of work being done. It's not necessarily a good or bad thing. We should focus on getting our clients in and out of the gym in the SAFEST way possible, not annihilating them to the point where they can't even move. If you've been training for years and never are sore, it may be time for you to increase the intensity, volume, eccentrics & time under tension (TUT) and try a new program. Otherwise, educate your clients around soreness and how it's not the ONLY indicator for an amazing workout.
Top Nutrition Post: Antidiet Dietitian
Astrid Naranjo aka The Antidiet Dietitian takes the cake with how to lose 20-lbs in 1-2 weeks becuase YOU DON'T! There's ~3,500 calories in 1-lb of fat. The average person will create too much of a deficit (500+ calories) and perform endless cardio which is a great way to FAIL with your “diet.” Remember the word DIET means what you consume over the lifespan of YOUR LIFE! Instead of being too drastic, focus on lifting weights 4x a week, drink more water, aim for whole food sources of protein and focus on the other, more controllable aspects of the Body Mass Equation (Stress, Sleep, environmental factors, mindset etc.)
