What is Lactic Acid Training?

As the name suggests, lactic acid training is a technique that involves working out in a way that causes your body to produce a lot of lactate, which is a byproduct that's released as your muscles create energy during high-intensity workouts. When you're doing a tough workout, and your muscles start to burn, that's related to the buildup of "lactic acid" in your muscles. Additionally, lactate plays a role in generating the "growth hormone" that's responsible for increasing muscle mass.

Basically, the belief is that by doing lots of repetitions (about 2-3 sets of 12-25 repetitions) of an exercise, using a relatively lighter weight (about 30% of your one-rep maximum), with very little rest between, you can build up the lactic acid in your body, and ultimately boost the amount of muscle you're putting on.

Lactic acid training is seen as a shortcut of sorts among people looking to make a dramatic change to their physique through exercise.
