Muscle Soreness

[Dez]

What if a lifter's Chest starts feeling sore the next day after a workout, and the soreness annoys him to flexes and rubs his chest as hard as possible hoping the pain will go away. Just wondering, will rubbing and 'hurting' the sored muscles affect muscle growth and recovery?

[syntekz]

No. If anything, it could help to reduce soreness.
