Instantaneous soreness for strength?

[Boxes]

Hey Guys

My first post here.

I noticed somewhat of a trend in my workouts. Whenever I can feel soreness in my muscle immidiately following a rep (probably due to max tension in the muscle), i gain strength in that muscle.

However I can rarely achieve this anymore. Sure i get DOMS from some workouts, but that does not seem to have nearly the positive effect as when i get immidiately sore.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, does anyone have any ideas how i might be able to do it consistently?

For awhile, supramaximal Neg reps would seem to tear my muscle on the spot, but not anymore.

Thanks

You gained and got sore because you just got back into training..
