You are experiencing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, or DOMS.

Pain usually peaks 48-72 hours following an intense workout which stresses the body in a way it is unaccustomed to, and can take up to around a week to relieve. You will not experience this on a normal basis however if you continue to workout.

Man I had that bad when I first did squats after 6 weeks off. I could hardly walk right 3-4 days later.

yeah i had that doing squats too... i was really sore for at least a week, and that was after 2 weeks off (illness and such). though another round of squats made it go away.

that means you busted it up good

Soreness is not an indicator of muscle growth.

But you can differentiate between muscle fibre splitting-soreness, and lactic acid-soreness.

Yea it was bad. For a couple of days I could hardly crouch down at all or bend my legs. I was walking around with my knees almost locked. When I did that lifting I took it easy too and didn't even do as much as I felt like I could! As you said another round makes it go away.
