Your muscle gets stronger during the rest period between workouts because it rebuilds itself and this causes the burning. The muscle fibers during the rebuilding phase come back stronger because your body knows these muscles need to be stronger in order to endure the workload that you are putting it through.
so no to pain, but yes to a burn and to soreness.
of course, I could be completely wrong.

soreness/pump/burn is just the lactic acid. it doesn't mean it's repairing the microtears. muscle adaptation is in response to neural stress actually.
