that's the feeling of your muscles getting stronger! Eat carbohydrates (like bread, rice, or pasta) immediately after working out and it will help your body to absorb the excess lactic acid build-up you have generated in your muscles, which will reduce your pain and stiffness, but most importantly, have a good stretch to loosen yourself up. Working only on building muscles can lead to permanent stiffness and reduced mobility so you need to make sure that you stretch them out so you are strong and flexible. After you have worked out a few times and your body has grown accustomed to working out you will not get sore and stiff anymore, but always be careful not to work your muscles too much beyond their capacity or you risk injury.

thats normal, just let ur arms rest then u'll be good as new when the pain has gone, its your muscles tearing in order to let them grow, make sure you drink lots of water and eat meat to help them heal quicker

load up on creatine before your next work out to keep this from being bad
