Feel the burn!!: Muscle ache the day after a weight workout is completely normal. Tylenol (acetaminophen) can help the ache. Aspirin or other nsaids (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like Motrin or alleve can help as well. Some think nsaids will prevent muscle growth but in reality it may slow it a bit (see http://www.Mindandmuscle.Net/articles/nsaids-and-hypertrophy-by-jay-mccombs/) no pain no gain.
