First time gym goer here. Did some tricep machine workout 3

Well what's the pain like? There's a good chances it's delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and that goes away as you work out more. Cold showers help with getting rid of soreness. If it's burning, idk, but sharp pains could mean injury. Also
