Misapplication of Feelings in Exercise

In this episode of the Triage Method podcast, we discuss various aspects of exercise, feelings, their interplay and the misapplication of feelings in exercise. Hosts Paddy Farrell and Gary McGowan explore the concept of selecting exercises based on feelings and sensations. They emphasize the importance of understanding the physiological and biomechanical basis of exercises rather than solely relying on feelings or sensations like muscle connection or delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). They argue that while feelings can guide exercise selection, especially for targeted muscle groups like rear delts, they shouldn’t be the sole criterion.

The podcast touches on topics like mobility training, functional range conditioning, and the risks of overemphasising feelings in exercise selection. They discuss the pitfalls of misinterpreting sensations during exercise, especially for beginners who may not accurately interpret what they feel. The hosts also cover broader topics like general fitness, the importance of technique, and managing expectations and goals in fitness. They advise against constantly pushing to failure and stress the need for balanced and sustainable training practices.

Overall, the podcast advocates for a more informed, balanced approach to exercise that integrates feelings with a deeper understanding of exercise science, cautioning against the misapplication of feelings in exercise. This doesn’t mean that feelings are ignored, it just means that they need to be integrated into a more comprehensive framework for exercise selection and program design.
