in exercise, is it really true that "no pain, no gain"?

<p>i hope you’re taking in enough protein. when you first start working out you’ll be very sore. the technical name for it is DOMS (delayed onset muscle syndrome). DOMS becomes nearly nonexistent after one’s been exercising for a while. The quickest and absolutely best gains come from when you first start because your body adapt rapidly. All you can do now is make sure you have enough protein and rest.</p>
