There’s a lot of noise in training—what actually works vs what just sounds good.

Here are two common myths that can hold people back.

🧠 Pro Takeaway with Dr. Kavan Latham

Myth #1: If you’re sore or stiff, you shouldn’t train

Reality:

Soreness and stiffness don’t automatically mean you need to stop training. In many cases, the right type of movement can actually help you feel and perform better.

Don’t automatically skip training due to soreness

Adjust intensity instead of eliminating movement

Use controlled movement to improve how you feel

Focus on quality over pushing through discomfort

Myth #2: If you’re not sore, it wasn’t a good workout

Reality:

Soreness is not a reliable indicator of progress. Effective training is about adaptation—not how much pain you feel the next day.

Knee pain doesn’t always mean you need to stop training.

It usually means you need to train smarter.

🧠 Pro Takeaway with Amanda Barrett

Exercises like the Spanish squat can reduce knee stress while still strengthening the muscles that support the joint.

In most cases, this isn’t meant to replace traditional barbell squats—it’s a highly effective pre-hab tool to help keep your knees healthy and resilient.

⚡ Apply This Today

Use Spanish squats as part of your warm-up or accessory work

Use them as a pain-free alternative when traditional squats cause discomfort

Focus on controlled reps and staying upright

Add them 2–3x per week to support knee health and durability
