They lost me in the intro paragraph.
Lactic acid isn't produced in humans - its lactate thats the byproduct of anaerobic metabolism (from pyruvate), and it doesn't make you sore. It's hydrogen ions liberated during hydrolysis of ATP that do that.
While i've read research suggesting that increased blood lactate levels can cause an increase in growth hormone levels, i don't know if theres really much point in basing your whole training around it.
