Lifting cleans the sludge out of your muscles. When you first start lifting you may notice yourself hacking up globs of sludge. This is the muscle-sludge you've been cleaning out. Muscles are like cords of woven noodles, & the sludge grows among them like slime-moulds. Lifting causes the muscles to contract strongly, which is like wringing the noodle-cords, rather like writing a cloth to get the water out of it. The end result is that the sludge breaks free & bounces around your nervous system for a while before finally bubbling up into your lungs, where you can cough it out. This is normal, do not be alarmed.
