    Thing I hate about exercise, it’s a fine line between “feel the burn!” and “you’ve done irreparable damage”.

      It is one of the reasons why, if I do strength training, I use dumbbells. It is a lot easier tell something is too heavy when you pick it up instead of setting a machine and guessing.

        doing lots of reps on something well within your range also trains your endurance, which is generally pretty important and something that people who just want big biceps can easily forget.

      I am treading that line. I work out 5x a week. The post-workout combo of endorphins and caffeine are addictive.
