It doesn't mean you did too little. Personally I like to be at least a little sore after a workout. Lets me know I did something.
DOMS is not a pre-requisite for muscular hypertrophy or strength gains.
Although I'm sore as Hell after every workout! One portion of my body or another has be crippled almost everyday for the last 12yrs.![]()
An old friend and one time training partner would only get mild soreness, sometimes not at all. He has tons of muscle. Much of it has to do with genetics.
But you must also take into account anytime you introduce a different training stimulus or new activity you may experience extreme soreness.

To refuse to learn anything that could prove beneficial to yourself is a working definition of stupid!
High-intensity training is going all-out, not almost all out. It is taking one set to one's absolute limit, not almost to the limit. It is using whatever equipment’s available. It is not the words of two or three men, but a commitment to work as hard as possible while in the gym without socializing, resting excessively between sets, or falling prey to the 'this isn't going to work so I'll copy the star' attitude"
I am always sore after a super intense workout that is out of my normal workout. If it is the same workout I am not sore unless I really, really pushed myself and upped the weight A LOT. I also get sore when I start a new exercise or workout. Eventually I don't get SO sore...just mildly.
I LOVE BEING SORE...IT FEELS GREAT!!!![]()

genetics and post workout nutrition (and nutrition in general) have a lot to do with the amount of soreness that a person may feel.

Then I hate my genetics!!!!!!!!!!! I truly believe my off season diet is much better than most people in any gym. I've been at this crap for a long time and I think I have it down. BUT HOLY SHIT DO I GET SORE!!!!!!!!!!! Especially the legs and ass!!! But I’m stronger and bigger every year so I must be doing something right.

Soreness is not always necessary in order to induce muscle growth as although we might not FEEL sore, if we inserted a biopsy needle into our muscles we would find that there might be significant muscle damage.
Still, I would attempt to get sore at every workout for optimum hypertrophy.
