If you can do 75 reps, it's not heavy enough

Doms dude. You will be sore for a couple more days

Yes muscle soreness and stiffness is a natural response caused by the lactic acid buildup after excercise got because your body is not used to this stimulus and is inefficient at recovering from this strain.

Don't do work in that kind of rep range it's inefficient from a time and stimulus perspective. You need to get on a novice workout program to learn the principles of lifting, learn form and build a solid base of strength. Something like starting strength for example.

Using a weight that light will get you nowhere.

On my first venture into lifting, I only had my mom's 1lb dumbbells I did 1000 reps of curls each arm. They couldn't move below 90 degrees for a week.
