It is being said that our bodies cannot produce lactic acid but rather lactate and it's the metabolite summation of ATP, hydrogen, and lactate that cause the burn. But I was taught that lactic acid does not cause muscle burning sensation but instead its the increase in proton concentration that creates an acidic environment but since lactate is the component measured in the blood and blood is strictly a weak base and lactic acid is the corresponding acid and uses muscles as an energy it can help reduce the acidity. So I'm just confused and would like some clarification if our bodies do have lactic acid and what causes the burning sensation in our muscles when getting a pump
