MYTH BUSTING? No pain, no gain
This seems to be the war cry in many gyms. Usually espoused by big muscled bros. Pushing yourself and testing your limits is fine.

“The idea that exercise should hurt is simply wrong — muscle pain during or following exercise usually suggests an injury.”
This myth has been debunked many times, including by the best in the business MythBusters.

Health experts advise that your workout should be challenging, but you should stop as soon as you experience pain.

“I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments?” Grief is a vehicle which takes you into the darkest moments, whether you want to face them or not, and it is up to you whether to engage or avoid.
