A member asked:
Are your muscles meant to always be sore after lifting weights?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you have an effective workout from lifting weights, your muscles will feel sore. The soreness means that your muscles were challenged, and they need to rebuild them selves. This rebuilding makes you stronger. If you only lift to the point of not having sore muscles, you may not notice much improvement in your strength over time.

What do you suggest if my muscles are sore after I lift weights is this good or bad?
Simple inquiry. I've noticed that after I do weight training for a specific muscle group, that a day later (now sore) it'll twitch sometimes (not painfully). Does this mean the muscle is repairing itself?
