They usually go with slow or accented eccetrics.
Thibadeau earlier wrote that Olympic lifters actually train with heavy loads 5 or more days in a week.
But they throw weights negating the eccentric part (as it doesn’t make sense to lower the load slowly during OL) and therefore do not experience DOMS as severe as bodybuilders do.
Usually positive signal that body is in state of turmoil, stress after workout.

I disagree, this past year I put on 50 lbs on my frame and the only time i felt ANY DOMS was after layoffs. I would say that for some, DOMS is a good indicator of having had an efficient training session, but for me it doesn’t mean anything. I would’ve only had like 4 productive sessions in the entire year
