A person in a gym performs an exercise using a cable machine, with text overlay asking "does soreness = MUSCLE GROWTH?". This image introduces the article's central question about the relationship between soreness and muscle development.
A gym interior features a cable machine, with a prominent pink text box stating "SORENESS DOES NOT MEAN MUSCLE GROWTH" and "HERE'S WHY...". This image directly presents the article's main argument.
A gym setting, possibly within a power rack, displays text explaining that soreness is caused by muscle damage but doesn't necessarily mean strength or muscle gain, using the stair master as an example, supporting the article's point.
Why soreness does not mean you’re building muscle
Just because you’re sore after a workout, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re growing muscle. An example of this would be being sore after being on the stair master, the stair master doesn’t grow your muscles! Another example is carrying groceries into the car and stacking as many bags as you can on
