I never get sore anymore, meaning i need to change my workout plans bc im not tearing down like i used to right?
Not necessarilly. It could be due to overtraining.
Also, just because your body can muscularly "take it", doesn't mean it isn't causing your body damage.
When you work out your nervous system takes a huge beating too and that's what needs the rest even when your muscles aren't saying so.
Ultimately, every time you workout you are making inroads into your nervous system energy. It's kind of like making a withdrawal from your savings account everytime you work out. If you don't replace that money, you eventually go bankrupt. That is overtraining in the bodybuilding world.
The problem is since it's your nervous system, you don't see or feel the damage untill it's too late. It can actually take a long time for your nervous system to heal up after it has been overtrained.
Imagine if you scraped a chunk of skin off of your arm. Eventually it forms a scab and begins to heal. If you continually tear the scab off. It will never heal. That's what working out is like when you don't take time to rest.
