DOMS varies among different people. For some people, after doing exercises they're not used to, they can be sore for nearly a week. For most, 3 days is about the max. Don't be concerned unless soreness persists, and you should eventually be able to distinguish between soreness and injury.

== Yes, this is totally normal. Sore muscles means your muscles are stretching and are developing, therefore meaning that they are getting bigger and growing.

If you suddenly do extra work or lift heavier weights then you may find yourself becoming sore.

Are you supposed to feel sore after weight lifting?

Usually yes. In the process of weight lifting, you are actually tearing/breaking down muscle tissue. The soreness you feel is related to how much tissue was broken down during your weight lifting session. This soreness can last for a day or two, or as long as a week. It all depends how much you lifted, and how intense your workout was. The old weight lifting saying goes " no pain, no gain", which is referring to the pain you feel after your workout.
