Pain is definitely a sign that there is something wrong with what you are doing. Pain is a sign that your body is moving too quickly to adapt (or is not used to) to a certain stimulus or sensory input. I am not talking about feelings of discomfort. I am talking about sharp sensations that make you feel like maybe life isn't all cracked up as it is made to be. With this old 'no pain no gain' way of thinking, it will just get you into trouble. There is something to be said about 'warrior spirit' in which you have the will to survive and go on no matter what the circumstances, and surely that has a lot of value. However, going on and training with a torn hamstring or if like your arm is halfway ripped off is just plain stupid, especially by today's standards. That is why so many people nowdays are suffering from their mistakes they made early on in training as they reach their 40's and 50's is that they have overstretched their ligaments/tendons, stretched improperly, put too much stress on certain areas of the body that should not have been worked. Modern science, believe it or not, is not total bullsh*t. Obviously this suffering of worn out body parts is not exclusive to everyone but it is actually quite common.
'No pain no gain' is best applied IMHO if u are talking about the repeated feeling of having your spirit or intentions questioned. If you are wondering or feeling frustrated at the hardships or difficulties you face. That is the pain that you must face, and those negative feelings in which you should turn into positive motivation in order to get what you want. Otherwise, if you are talking about the pain from a torn hamstring, in all honesty when you tear your hamstring or strain your ankle, quite frankly you have lost something and you haven't gained beans, except for maybe the experience and the lesson that you shouldn't work yourself too hard too quickly.

You know if you are making your own you can leave out the smelly stuff. The heat in the red version comes from the pepper. There is an amazingly hot stuff that comes in a tube made by Cramer.
It is called Red Hot. Basically it is 4.95% oleoresin capsicum in a petrolatum base. Pepper essence in vaseline.
Just don't get the stuff in your eyes.

| And by all means wash your hands thoroughly before going to the bathroom, guys especially. (I know a guy with a very funny story about making salsa with habaneros then failing to heed the above tip...) |
