Legs sore, Squats tommorow, skip or no?

If they're not painfully sore than screw it go in there and squat, I'm on 5 x 5 and back squats twice a week and front squats once a week, I did front squats today with sore legs from back squatting on monday and cardio yesterday, it's no big deal, just go in there and squat, if my knowledge of rippedtoe is correct the 2nd day of squatting is a relatively light day anyway.

Sore muscles are your way of knowing that your body has been exposed to exertion and the muscle itself has been broken down and is in recovery phase. If your goal is indeed to add muscle mass it is important to let your body heal and not to overtrain, it definitly would be a step backwards in the growing dept. to keep training while sore.

you grow outside of the gym
Once again I agree with the statements above. Whenever there is soreness it means your body has not completely healed, it's like you get cut and before it forms a scab you reinjure yourself..so in most cases avoiding working that body part is advised.
The only time I would suggest working a sore bodypart is as a way to shock it..after a while training a bodypart every 5-7 days can become monotonous and your body will adjust..and eventually no longer respond....remember your aim in bodybuilding is to trick your muscles into thinking they HAVE to grow so once in a while shocking them by training them while they're sore will force them to adapt.Otherwise, wait till they've fully recovered then train them.Steel
