why is it taking longer for me to GET sore after working out?

you need to change up your work out if you arent sore.

Are you really under the impression that DOMs has any correlation with progress? Quotting myself from earlier in this thread... "Being sore means one thing... you're sore. Nothing else. It's not an indicator of progress whatsoever. So there's definitely no need to change up your routine constantly trying to feel that "soreness."

Absolutely! I can do side lateral raises with dumbbells 100 times and feel sore for a week (I do not recommend this...), but that doesn't mean it did anything positive for my gains or progress..

I guess it depends on your goals. I focus on intensity when I'm lifting right now. So if after a workout I am not sore I know I didn't really hit the level of intensity I needed to.

if i worked out hard, i would usually feel it the very next morning. it's been this way my whole life.

i'm in my early-mid 20's now, and instead of feeling sore the next day, it's the day after.

is this due to getting older?

hmm. most people would enjoy not getting sore.
i see 2 things. either you workout very well, and your body has grown accustomed.

OR. your weights are too low.

i doubt its the second so its probably the 1st.
