lactic acid is a byproduct of lactic acid fermentation. its produced when the muscle cells lack oxygen , which is usually after extreme workouts or what not
our body needs to go through this because we need NAD+ stuff for glycolysis during anaerobic (no oxygen) respiration. so like our body doesn't really produce it on purpose, its just a side effect. and the more lactic acid that builds up..that's where the sore-ness comes from ..the acid build up.

This is why I love academia. this is really a complicated subject to discuss withouth really jumping deep into bio-chem. Although you seem to be on the right track I think you missing a couple key parts. the accumulation of lactic acid is not what causes the soreness at all. It's a much more complicated subject.
But since were on the subject lets also talk about DOMS or delayed onset muscle soreness which most people also assoicate with Lactate and or Lactic Acid. Whats your viewpoint on it.
