What I've heard is the exact opposite, you should wait until the muscle soreness is on the way out (2-3 days if you are a beginner) until training that muscle again, to give it time to build new muscle. I've also found that I only get bad DOMS when I haven't trained a muscle in a while. If it happens every time, I am training slightly different spots every time because my execution is not clean.
(Side note, I find the highly technical term DOMS funny, as if that is some syndrom that has just recently been discovered. It's just plain old muscle soreness, the German term translates even roughly to "muscle hangover").
- simonswords82 4y agoI guess it's horses for courses. One person's pain as a measurement of success in the gym is another person's reason not to work out until the pain is totally gone - which might mean they never get off the starting blocks.
- hammock 4y agoDOMS and muscle soreness are two different things. And since they is the case, you can and ought to train without waiting for DOMS to go away
- Arkhaine_kupo 4y agoIs the MS in DOMS not muscle soreness?
- hammock 4y agoLiterally yes. However the soreness you get after working out for the first time in a while (or a new muscle from a while) is DOMS and not the same as the soreness from a good workout of a muscle group you regularly exercise

- ImPostingOnHN 4y agoI do full body strength training 6-7 times per week normally, and am rarely sore anymore when I stop working out for several days in a row (like on travel), I'm always sore after the first workout upon resumption (whereupon I'll usually skip the next day, then be back to normal) tl;dr: feels like conditioning can help with soreness I also jump between the hot tub and pool a few times for 15-20 minutes after every workout, so maybe that's a bit of recovery (in addition to getting enough protein before and after the workout)
