When you lift weights are you supposed to feel bruised and achey the next day?

Actually to a certain extent yes. It is very complicated but you need to work your muscles to the point of near exhaustion in order to stimulate myotome growth

Depends on where you feel sore. If you feel sore in the muscles you worked, good. If you feel sore in the joints or where they meet the bone, not so good.

If you are just starting out it is more prevalent yeah. Eventually you don't really feel anything just slightly fatigued in those areas.

What kind of weight lifting are you doing, brah? You should never feel bruised. Feeling sore is common because your muscles are recovering.

[broadshoulders]

Yeah a tough workout rewards badly aching muscles the next day. Really uncomfortable.
The next day after workout you get sore muscles, which is a side effect of muscle rebuilding.

[genericname85]

yes, a little. if you are sore a little, you did it right. if you are in massive pain and can´t properly move, you overdid it.

[BertMacklinFBI]
