A member asked:
Can you tell me for working out, can muscle soreness be taken as a measure of success?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lactic acid buildup: it was makes muscles sore. Usually if you are sore it means that you injured muscles enough that they need to repair the micro-injury you caused. That is what makes them bigger over time so it's sort of a good barometer of working out right
