One of two things is happening.Either you aren't working out hard enough or need to make corrections to your form.
By working out hard enough I mean a MINIMUM of ten work sets for each body part and taking every set after your warm ups to failure (with a spotter of course).By failure I mean that you couldn't conceivably complete another rep.
Next you must pay particular attention to the negative portion of the rep.This is where the primary degree of micro trauma takes place.
Micro trauma is what makes you sore not lactic acid.Lactic acid is removed from the muscle when circulation returns and only causes the burning sensation during the set.
The proper term is DOMS or delayed onset muscle soreness.I've been working out for over twenty years and still get very sore.It has absolutely nothing to do with being used to the workout!!!!!!!!!!!And your metabolism has nothing at all to do with it.That's simply the rate at which you burn the calories.That's your metabolic rate.Lotta answers from people that don't work out.
Wow,I had to come back and look at these answers.How many of these people seem to know what they're talking about or even work out.0.If I still have muscle soreness after lifting for 22 years then it doesn't come from not being used to the work.IT'S MICRO TRAUMA.Minute tears in the muscle fibers.If you want to feel sore and grow then this is necessary.One fiber splits then when your body rcovers it forms two fibers from the splits.Concentrate on the negative and stretch properly after every work out.

Some people have a much better metabolism and don't necessarily feel pain after heavy exercise.
When I was in my late 20s early to middle 30s, despite the fact that I never exercised and had sales jobs that didn't build any muscles, I could shovel 5 tons of gravel in 2 hours (needed at home) and feel absolutely nothing... not then, not the next day, not ever.

Depends on how long you been doing it for, the first 2-3 weeks of going gym i would wake up the next day with aches and pains all over my body but after that i didnt feel nothing, now after a year i work out for 2-3 hours a day and feel fine.....

No, you don't always feel pain the next day. You should be happy about that. If you want to feel pain, though do some new excercises that shock your muscles. It may help you get out of a plateua as well. There are a lot of good excercises and info at abcbodybuilding.com

If you're past the first week or two of lifting weights (after a period of rest/no lifting) your body has adjusted and is totally normal. You're not supposed to feel "pain" after this period, unless something is wrong (a tear, pull, etc.)

Yes, it depends on how long you have been lifting weights. If it's been for a while, your body is use to it and can take more effort and pressure on your muscles.

It might just mean your body is use to it. Try to bring it to the next level and work out harder!

If there is pain there is injury. no, there should be no pain at all, maybe disconfort. Educate yourself when training muscles or you will suffer the concecuences later on in life.
