Pain is subjective - nothing we do in the gym for hypertrophy is based on soreness. For the brain dead easy simplification: Muscle endurance is around 20 reps failure. Muscle hypertrophy (growth) 8-12 reps. Power/strength 6 reps failure pure power 1-4 reps.
We calculate this through a 1Rm failure.
So soreness has nothing to do with it. If you cant lift the weight - and youre failing after 12. what you gonna do? Make a magic spell and lift again? No you fail. Thats how you know youre on the right weight.
Now people who havent trained in a long while - might want to start with muscle endurance before moving onto heavier weights.
That said. soreness is subjective. And the better the athlete the better recovery they have after each workout - aka your body recovers faster between workouts.

I never really liked being sore until I felt sore in my back for the first time. It took me a long time to get that mind muscle for my back. Always felt it all in my biceps. I watched so many videos about the proper form. SQUEEEEZING and not shrugging, dropping the weight, but still for months, I felt soreness everywhere but my back and just hated it. Untill on one special day when I decided to just row a wooden broomstick and BOOM. I felt it. The next morning, my middle back, lats, rhomboids, EVERYTHING was on fire. It was the greatest feeling ever, I felt like crying. I can't help but believe that soreness IS indeed and indicator of growth.

When you get sore you get muscle your ripping your muscle fibers when you are sore after a work out not immediately after but a couple hours after if not either you did your whole workout wrong or your used to it or you listened to this video soreness after a workout 100%means your gaining muscle

More soreness may not equal MORE gains, but soreness of any degree in my case is an indicator the GROWTH period is happening. Increasing the degree of soreness may not have an effect but getting sore does. By the way Runners especially Sprinters have GREAT legs.

Inflammation sends a signal to the brain, telling it the body needs repairment, if there is inflammation in the leg from working out then that means the leg needs repairing eg. growing thicker stronger muscle fibers.

You don't have to get sore to grow. Thats the answer. But if you train a lot harder than the last time you will get soreness and maybe more gains. But the recovery thing is a big deal.

Currently having DOMS after a judo training, I can't walk for shlt. Can't imagine performing Judo on solid concrete grounds instead of soft mattress
