Lactic Acid Burn

[ssssshh]

Was doing my legs after my arms. Got quite carried away. Didn't realize how many sets I was doing. Now suffering from all the soreness from the lactic acid build-up. Wonder what is the best way to get rid of the lactic acid...

I do my stretching and swim, dunno why but I love the pain or soreness :D

We know why, don't we? :P

Drink soda water to neutralise the acid?

You gave me an idea. I wonder if altering the pH of the blood will help...

You are thinking about increasing the pH of your blood?
Stay on the safe side and let the soreness pass :p

Read more about Delayed Onset Soreness, and realized it is more than just the lactic acid, but the microtears in the muscle...
