At the end of every workout, it is always a good idea to flush the lactic acid from your muscles that has been built up throughout your workout. This can speed up the muscle recovery stage and reduce soreness.
To flush your muscles, use a very light weight and hold it at verious points in your rep. This works with almost any exercise, so you should do this no matter what body part(s) your lifting on a given day. For example, if you are flushing your biceps, do a barbell curl. Starting at the bottom of the rep, raise the bar a few inches and pause, then raise the bar a few more inches and pause. Repeat this step until you've fully raised the bar and gradually lowered it back to starting position.
