Amino acids are essentially the "building blocks" of protein. I think he meant lactic acid, which builds up within the muscle tissue during prolonged exertion, which causes you to experience that burning feeling at the point of failure. I imagine an over-abundance of lactic acid could in some cases cause injury, I'd have to research it though. I'm really not sure.
