A misperception about sore muscles is that the tissue itself is sore. The pain you feel when you are sore is actually localized swelling around the nerve endings corresponding with the muscle.
Do not work sore or fatigued muscles. That inflammation brings nutrients and healing to muscle fibers. Training a single muscle every day will further delay the recovery and rebuilding of the muscle; it may produce short-term growth but will lead to overtraining and fiber damage in the long run.
