If you're training like a beast, you might encounter some aches and
pains. But there's a difference between muscles that are working hard to
recover, and muscles that are working too hard. Delayed onset muscle soreness (AKA DOMS) is common after resistance training, but there are signs
that mean it's more than just sore muscles and could be an injury: if
you can point to pain in a super specific spot, if only one side of your
body is sore (ex: one knee is killing you but the other is fine), if
you're going on five to seven days of "can-barely-walk" pain, and if any
increased activity makes the pain worse. If any of these sound
familiar, you need to take a break, stat.
