Muscles are strengthened and grow by repairing micro tears. The repairs are made with muscle tissue, so the muscle actually does become larger, but the tiny rips are slightly painful for a couple of days.

∙ 13y agoThere are generally two types of muscle pain.
The burning sensation that you get during strenuous exercise is caused by lactic acid build up. Lactic acid is a by-product of anaerobic metabolism (anaerobic glycolysis) and it accumulates in the muscles when it is produced faster than it can be carried away by the bloodstream. In general, this type of muscle pain subsides quickly when the intensity of exercise is reduced and most of the lactic acid is cleared from the muscles within an hour after exercise.
Delayed-onset muscle soreness is the discomfort you feel a day or two later. This is the result of microscopic disruptions of the myofilaments in the muscles, and is a normal part of the muscle-strengthening process. Massage, low-intensity exercise and hot baths all help to reduce the soreness.
