What is the appropriate level and length of soreness after workout to build muscle mass? is workout effective the day after if still sore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle soreness: Muscle soreness after working out is a good sign. It is evidence that you have put strain or stress on the muscles and that they need to break down and rebuild. This is the purpose of working muscles.
