@icedquinn@blob.cat i don't think i really changed anything when the doms stopped. It does seem to be a getting used to using those muscles more thing mostly.
Also, if your muscles hurt it's really nothing to worry about unless it's "muscle torn" kinda pain, just give it some rest. Muscles are some of the most regenerative cells somehow despite not being able to divide at all

@icedquinn@blob.cat also, just go to failure imo. How tf are supposed to consistently keep reps in reserve. Additionally, from what we know the reps close to failure are the only ones driving muscle growth

@snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @icedquinn@blob.cat Of course muscle cells don't divide - otherwise you would be carrying around huge bloated muscles everywhere. Muscles are repaired by myosatellite cells and a bunch of other things, that do divide - the result of healing is a bigger muscle cell, rather than cells of the same size (and thus the same strength, to replace it.
