Soreness i think its to broad of a term.
I have trained through soreness before and keep progressing esp in strength.
I dont know I am not decided on Over Training yet and ended up in this thread to try and learn more.

If you have muscle soreness then your muscles have still inflammation.
If you have still inflammation that means that some hormones are still doing their work, hormones such as PGF or MGF.
If that hormones are coming into play, that means that you're kind of in the middle of the battle against catabolism and anabolism (where anabolism is supposed to win, if you rested and ate correctly)

If you go to train, you're only promoting the release of a new wave of cortisol (some sort of catabolism reinforcements) and that will surpass your attempts to grow (repaired muscle tissue)

Besides, remember, the body DOESN'T recover or works by "parts" such as "lower body" and "upper body"... some people tell me that it's ok to train something as back after leg day, because legs has nothing to do with back... and that's WRONG... The body recuperation system is a whole system controled by the CNS, and you must be recovered completely before you go and workout again (any muscle group).
