Are Sore Muscles Growing?

The video discusses muscle soreness, particularly Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), which occurs after starting a new workout routine. It explains that DOMS is caused by microtrauma in muscles, especially during eccentric contractions. While muscle soreness is related to muscle damage and repair, it doesn't necessarily indicate muscle growth. Over time, muscles adapt to exercises, reducing soreness due to the repeated bout effect.
