Your muscles fill with lactic acid once you tear them, so it sorta has to happen. Please fill out your profile, and give alittle more information on what exercises your doing. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

Try doing different exercises targeting the same muscle (from dumbell curls to cable curls, etc), or from even free weights, to machines...or vice versa. oh and I don't think your arms need to be sore to grow.... -------------- -||---||- frank -||---||-
