Summary
What is pain, how does it work, and why do we experience pain (what value does it provide us)? Jayson Ball explains all.
Pain in the Flesh
The process of pain begins in the flesh through sensory transduction. Information from the environment turns into an electric impulse in the nervous system, that eventually makes its way to the brain.
Proteins exist in sensory tissue to help this process occur. For example, there are touch & heat receptors. Genes determine these proteins.
This is why certain animals can experience a wider array of the electromagnetic spectrum in how they visually interpret the world.
Another example might be with a super taster. This person has an unusually large amount of taste receptors, so they have greater depths of taste. This may be trainable, to some degree, but one cannot be a super taster if the proteins lack in the tongue.
Pain - Why!?
Okay, that's nice, but why do we have to experience pain?
Jayson argues this is a warning. It signals that something is occurring that is causing damage.
Touching a hot stove, for example, creates a withdrawal reflex loop. This means, without your brain, you automatically withdraw your hand off the heat source.
Yes, this can be overridden, and that can probably be trained and influenced by motivating factors.
Another important piece of information here is the existence of people who do not experience pain. They experience severe tissue damage regularly and early death, as they simply will persist in activities that damage their flesh.
If they had experience pain, they would have stopped those activities and protected the flesh.

| 0:00.0 | Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about holiday sale or how |
| 0:07.4 | now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money |
| 0:10.5 | you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to |
| 0:14.8 | discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes |
| 0:19.3 | for people who want to work with a coach. And that called to mind how many of |
| 0:23.0 | our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real |
| 0:27.8 | life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal |
| 0:31.9 | barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they |
| 0:36.5 | are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they |
| 0:40.7 | care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that |
| 0:45.6 | price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for |
| 0:48.9 | something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully |
| 0:53.0 | deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they |
| 0:57.3 | invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that |
| 1:01.8 | you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this sounds |
| 1:05.9 | like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to four |
| 1:10.8 | workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we will |
| 1:14.9 | give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case scenario is |
| 1:20.2 | it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest in yourself |
| 1:24.7 | and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only risk is about |
| 1:28.7 | on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where your goals are. |
