The burning sensation that certain types of training bring on is believed by most to be a sign of a successful growth promoting workout. Many seek it out and strive to achieve this burning sensation as an indicator to a good workout.
Well let me tell you, that muscle "burn" is not an indicator of an optimum workout. This burn is caused by infusion of lactic acid. Lactic acid is a byproduct of glycogen metabolism in muscle tissue. Lactic acid is not good for muscle growth. In fact, it impairs growth. Where does this burning sensation come from? It comes from lactic acid due to high reps. Not only does high rep training supply insufficient overload for growth it also causes high muscle lactic acid levels that lead to tissue catabolism, oxidative stree and delayed muscle recovery.

I took that straight out of one of the pages on the second week of Max-OT. I have a question.
When I work-out, I don't get the burn in my muscles, they just feel regular. The next day, however, I do feel my muscles burn.
I just started Max-OT on monday, and still felt the burn from my legs until almost thursday. I figure that this is because I hadn't worked out for 2 months prior to monday, and I always hurt when I work-out after not having worked-out for a couple months.
My question is, is this guy referring to the during-work-out burn or the after-work-out burn? I want to know what I'm doing wrong if he's referring to the after-work-out burn.
