Getting stronger and faster means sometimes enduring a wee bit of pain. Some consider DOMS, that pain that comes on 12 to 24 hours after a workout, to be a good thing. Sharp, shooting immediate pain, on the other hand, means stop.

We have all heard the expression "no pain, no gain" and when it is related to the fitness world I think it is not only over used, but often misunderstood.
While it is true that the post workout soreness know as delayed-onset muscle soreness or DOMS is a normal conclusion to a strenuous workout, sharp pain experienced during a workout means something else entirely.
DOMS occurs post workout and can take up to 48 hours to manifest, and this is the good kind of sore.
