I don't know if anyone really likes being in pain (I'm sure there are some lucky few). I personally have mixed emotions about the sensation we call pain, specifically soreness. Right now I'm pretty dang sore and I haven't been sore like this for a long time (atleast six months if not more since I don't remember being sore like this). Yesterday I went and did a workout with my bro. we did some circuit training. Four stations squats, box hops (side to side), reverse lunges, and an ab station (pick your torture, we did a mixture of crunches, planks, and leg lifts). Each station for 2 minutes, two circuts, a rest, and a third go around. We used some 25 lb dumbells,
a step-up-box
and some water bottles
For drinking of course.
After we did our circuits we hopped on our bikes and did sprints up little grand canyon dr. I made a segment out of it on strava (my first segment). It has an average 8.6% grade!
So now a day later the pain has set in. Actually it set in last night. I like being sore after I workout. It means my muscles are in the process of becoming stronger. But when sitting down (especially on a toilet seat) my hamstrings and glutes hurt so much my face gets all prune like as I grimace, I don't like being sore. To make matters worse I got to pull around freight last night at work (something I normally don't have to do anymore). So long story short being sore is good to a certain extent.
Haven't talked to my bro. yet after the workout, but I have a feeling (in my muscles) he is in the same way.

Yes, I was in pain. Do it until it doesn't hurt.
