well trained muscles will be sore for 3-4 days depending on how much nutrition you feed them. DON'T train sore muscles, let them recover properly before hitting them again or you wont see muscle gains.
also when in the gym DON'T do more than 12 sets on one muscle.
Overtraining is one of the biggest reasons alot of weight lifters in the gym dont see visible muscle gains.
also every 4-5 weeks have 6 days of the gym and keep changing your routine
