If you work out to failure, you will be sore. If you’re just doing maintenance, and don’t work to failure, you won’t be sore. But if you’re actively growing, through work to failure, you will be sore the next day. Even if you do it every day. Soreness is dependent on how hard you work yourself relative to your existing strength, not how strong you already are.

I mean I’m not to knowledgeable on the sbl part, i personally train with 6-8 rep range to 1 RIR and keep progressively overloading. I don’t usually feel sore the day after training unless I go to heavy in a new movement I don’t usually train with

I mean, I mostly do maintenance so I don’t feel *sore* after most workouts, I just feel tight in whatever muscle I worked. But if I set a PR? If I do some work to failure because I’ve been on vacation and not working out for a week or two? Yeah, I’m sore the day after that. Might just be down to genetics and body composition though, if some people just feel nothing after a maintenance workout.

Like, I’m strong, I know I’m strong. I don’t need to be a bodybuilder. I just need to be strong in general, stronger than most people, strong enough to impress. And I am. So most of my workouts are to STAY there, not to GROW. But when I do get a wild hair, and decide I wanna be a little stronger, then I get sore getting that way.

I agree training after not keeping active for more than a week will make you feel sore after trying to go hard to what was the standard intensity

Yeah, I work out mostly to be strong to help people, and until I was in a committed relationship, to impress people. If one of my friends asks me to help them move, I can carry their hundred pound boxes of books to the truck. I strong enough to be a good friend to have, which is great. But sometimes I stop working out for a minute, and then I get really sore after trying to jump into it again.

I know it might be different for others. But personally, if I’m eating properly and training consistently, I do not become sore. It doesn’t matter how hard I go either. But if I’m not eating properly or training consistently that’s when I become sore.

Soreness is not a growth indicator this is wrong
