True MagnetMan.
You sound wise,well-traveled, and versed!
I am Glad you are a Member here...
There is a Desire and Will Power factor that you alluded to.
There is also Balance.
The Human Body is amazingly adaptable. (and fragile)
I am talking relatively sedentary Americans/people here. Most people lack the discipline and/or pain tolerance that is required for Satori.
Lifting too much, too often, with bad form/technique can Cause serious injuries such as torn muscles, tendons, disk-slippage, on and on...
Pain is necessary, but the type must be distinguished. Pushing yourself too far ,too fast, too soon is a recipe for Rehab!
Example: Torn ACL. You are a competitor. It hurts. You think playing through the Pain is Gain for you/team. wrong.
Example: You are Benchpressing. It burns. It hurts. You want more. Your stabilizer muscles give out. your mind pushes you. Your form goes crappy. You tear a Pec. You will be out for at least 6 months after surgery
Example: Boxing. you are getting pummeled. You refuse to quit. You take all the pain! You end up with concussions and broken nose.
I Know what you are saying MagnetMan.
The phrase should be reworded: "No physical discomfort, No gain"
Discomfort yes. To the point it Hurts! AAHHHH it Burns GOOD!!
Pain no. Response of the body telling you something is Wrong!
As usual, lots of people take "No Pain No Gain" LITERALLY, and they end up Injured...
(I see it Constantly)
Like I said. There is a line. And I play Both sides
