Yeah, that's normal. It's a good thing, actually. Sort of like when you're doing a new workout and your muscles shake because they're being strained and pulled in new ways. After you're done, the muscles must spend some time adjusting to these new weird things you just made them do, so they twitch.

Congratulations on passing the test!

Jimmy Legs! Jimmy Legs!

I'm kidding, you don't have Jimmy Legs -- but it's a fun thing to shout so you might run about shouting it until the twitching goes away.

twitching is ok. those are fibers connecting and reconnecting with the nerves that youve just made reconfigure the way they have to relate to the muscles youve just torn apart and injured through use (a natural part of building muscles)
twitchy is ok.
twitchy and not able to support you is not.
you might find if you increase your magnesium content and some calcium content (usually a 2:1 ration is good around the time of working out, as to where a 1:2 ratio is better for homeostasis) or soak in a epsom salt bath (magnesium can be absorbed through the skin...tres cool) the twitching will decrease. magnesium moves lactic acid through your muscles, helping the nerves reconnect to active tissue.
its hot.
congrats on being an ass kicking babe. u rock my world
