Turbo Trainer Advice

Now, I’ve climbed many mountains IRL and at much higher power with none of the soreness I’m being left with after that. So, I’m trying to work out what’s happening differently to affect the muscles in this way and is it a good or bad thing? The Neo feels like it’s forcing me to use muscles differently.

The only thing a turbo can do to simulate hills is to increase the resistance, it's more like cycling around with no air in your tyres than actually going up a hill. As much as people seem to love Alpe Du Zwift I think "climbing" on a turbo is terrible.
