Should I *still* be getting DOMS after every leg day?

Should I *still* be getting DOMS after every leg day?I've been lifting now fairly seriously (seriously for me) for a couple years. Four days a week; two upper body and two lower. Once I started going heavy on my legs about 9 months ago, I started getting some very noticeable soreness the days after every lift session. Nothing alarming, just your typical DOMS. I do a fair amount of volume, but nothing at all extreme: Leg Press - 6x8 Hack Squat/Super Squat - 6x8 Calf Press - 6x8 Squats - I just started easing back into these again as I'm prone to back issues, but those have been 4x8 I was under the impression that after you lift for a while and get used to the strain, this DOMS nonsense was supposed to taper off. Is that just not the case, or could this be a sign that I need to back off a bit? Does anyone else have to fight this off after every leg day? submitted by /u/BarryAllenGinsberg [link] [comments]
