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
