What if we reframe the idea that pain is a measure of progress, and instead look at it as a signal? I’m curious if you see the same.

Pain’s not a trophy, it’s a red flag. If you treat it like a progress meter, you’ll just keep overdoing it and start bleeding. Listen to what your body’s telling you—if it’s sharp and sudden, stop and reassess. If it’s a steady burn that fades as you adapt, that’s your muscle saying “yes, push a little more.” So yeah, think of pain as a signal, not a badge. That way you stay in the zone of optimal overload without tipping into injury.

Red flag, huh. I always think of pain as the universe throwing a “stop” sign, but sometimes it’s like a mischievous kid waving a finger, saying “do it again.” Maybe the trick is to learn to listen to the kid and the sign at the same time.

Pain’s the universe’s double‑talk—half a siren, half a hype man. Tune into that voice: if it’s a quick, sharp hiss, back off; if it’s a steady, burning grind that eases as you adapt, you’re in the sweet spot. The trick is not to ignore the signal, but to read it like a good coach, not a noisy kid.
