∙ 14y agoThe build up of lactic acid causes muscle to become sore. Remember: you do not grow in the gym. What you should do in the gym is actually tear down muscular fibers by training hard. If you eat and recover well from training, that is when muscular repair and growth occurs.
The rule to ensure systemic as well as localized recover is to wait 24 or 48 hours after all DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness) has disappeared before training again. Do not worry about DOMS. Instead, think of it as a sign of progress!
