It's been a full 3 days and I'm still sore. This is... normal?
no , maybe your holding it weird . try strenghten your muscle first with low weight , until you feel you own it , than go for higher weights.
Is the standard / best idea to not work that muscle group until soreness disappears?

it was light, like 60lbs bench press and 80 on curl bar thing.

the thing is... I'm 30 years old, ten years ago it didn't take this long to 'recover', maybe a day or so
You have muscle cancer.
Nigger if you've lifted before you should know what DOMS is.
Retract your scapula senpai, it'll put the weight on the pec and it how bench is meant to be done.

It's iffy, because caffeine blocks adenosine and helps eliminate or even mitigate soreness; but I wonder if that actually improves overall muscle status.

How about an arch?
Dude when I came back after 6 months, I did back and bicep day. couldn't fully extend my arm for close to 9 days. (was purely doms)

this is only my opinion but my "I havent trained in months so I'll have newfag doms" doms pretty much disappear the second time I train my sore muscle group IE if I train my quads on Monday and I train them again on Tuesday my pain will be much gone by Friday

m-more?

It's called DOMS. The more you workout after a while it won't happen and your muscles will be fine.
