Yes: Delayed onset of muscle soreness (doms) is quite common and expected after intense use of a specific muscle group. This can be worsened if the intense use is following a period of initial use and lessened if there is a gradual buildup toward intense use. Doms is part of a normal adaptive process in the elite or novice athlete.
