A burning sensation happens during resistance exercise and typically occurs with higher rep training. That burning sensation is due to metabolic stress, which was once thought to be the stimulus that builds muscle. This has since been challenged in the literature. So if an exercise that "burns" isn't building muscle, what is it doing? Shannon discusses this today.
