Being sore is not an indicator of a good workout

If u wanna grow, focus on progressive overload, gradually increasing the reps and or/weight overtime

Wait. Seriously? Why not? Isn’t the whole mechanism of hypertrophy “fraying” the fibers?

Seriously. I don’t know the exact mechanisms to be frank, but look up Chris Beardsley or coachJP (jpliftsweight) on insta. They’ll be able to explain it better than I could. If you’re a newbie it’s normal to feel sore but after years of training it doesn’t happen as often. I rarely get sore anymore but I’ve still made a lot of progress on all my lifts and have continued to gain muscle
