Is DOMS just a nuisance, or does working out during delayed onset muscle soreness lead to overtraining?

How can I tell if I have DOMS or sore joints?

Any help is appreciated. I've always just canceled workouts for major soreness, and worked through minor soreness, but maybe an expert can say how to identify types of soreness and what to do about them.

it really depends, i've trained through soreness from minor to fucking hurt to turn my body. most of the time it's my back or shoulders that are sore. probably from the crazy amounts of deadlifts and dips and pull ups i do.

but anyways, i think the difference is if you're weaker because then it's an injury, if you can push through it and make gains then it's just soreness. at least that's how i feel, could be different for you

>>There is some scientific evidence that further training—a so-called second bout—has no negative effect on the reinforcement process.[6] The relationship between muscular soreness, the rest required, and hypertrophy is a contentious topic in bodybuilding. Claims that perpetual muscular soreness assures muscle growth are opposed by reports of stagnation through overtraining.

According to wikipedia, the answer is "yes. maybe. no." That's not a lot of help.
