Muscle Gains: Not All About the Burn!

Turns out, getting swole isn’t just about pushing your muscles to the point of pain. Science now says the real key to muscle growth is mechanical tension—basically, lifting heavy enough to make your muscles work hard, not just ache. That burn you feel? It’s more of a bonus than the main event. And you can get bigger without getting much stronger, or vice versa! So, don’t stress about soreness—focus on challenging reps and progressive overload for real results. #Fitness #musclemyths #fitfam
