Extremely sore two days after working out?

This is called DOMS. You will get it for the first week or so of lifting. Wait a few days extra in between and go slow until your body stops freaking out. This is totally normal

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is very very very common when starting anew. Just make sure you workout on schedule even if you are sore and the muscle soreness will stop within a week or two unless you are overdoing it.

Depends. What are you planning to lift tomorrow. Soreness when starting is to be expected

Starting out you will be sore most of the time because it’s all new. I wouldn’t train everyday tho, just do full body 3 times a week, start with phraks gslp, look it up on reddit. You can work out while sore, but if something actually hurts then tone it down.

If you are just starting out then you probably pushed too hard. Use empty bars or no bars and just 5lb dumbells. Get the motions down perfectly then add weight.

Going 0 to 60 without ramping up will have this effect.

As others have said DOMS - best advice I can offer is MCE (Movement, Compression and Elevation).

Prevention is better than cure so from now: - Rest for a few days but with plenty of low intensity movement to promote blood flow - Dynamic stretches - Warm up and stretch before and after workouts - Ramp up the intensity gradually (taking good care of your body is a marathon, not a sprint) - Proper nutrition - Proper rest (7 hours sleep ideally) - Stay hydrated (particularly after big workouts and after high protein intake)

Hope this helps 👌
