I am curious how most feel about this. When I was younger, I used to like being sore as I thought it meant that I was training hard. Now that I'm a bit older, I really don't like being sore. I especially don't like it with my legs as we have stairs and going up and down is a big pain in the ass, both literally and figuratively ! :-) I don't mind a little soreness, especially when the muscle still feels pumped and a tad sore the next day, but the type where just moving is painful of for the birds. Knowing how to listen to your body makes all the difference in the world with this too. I did legs the other day and was going to do another set of squats and decided not to. That was a great decision, as the next day I was just a bit sore. Had I done that extra set, I would have been walking like I had a stick up my ass! :-)
I like just a little bit of DOMS. It makes me feel like 1) I've trained hard enough and 2) I'm still able to exercise as vigourously as needed. It also is a welcome distraction from the pain I'm in every day, plus it seems to add just a little bit to my proprioception so I don't exacerbate anything.
