Nonsense I say you get to it tomorrow. Grab some protein shakes, eat healthy and go for your 10 sets. You can't take it easy or your body will get used to that and you will never see any change in your body. Don't do this to yourself and make sure you put the work in it, there are no shortcuts in real fitness.

if you're benching that much you should be doing a ton of back work...unless you wanna be a hunchback and have terrible shoulder problems

Your back has nothing to do with your chest or even triceps.

However, you are right about the shoulder. It can get hurt while bench pressing. A solution for it would be dumbell presses

I woke up today and it's feeling great.

Does that mean I can work out? Or should I wait 1-2 days extra? And If I start work out and do the same thing as last time would I get this DOMSS again?

It shouldn't be as bad this time around. You shouldn't be doing 10 sets... 3 sets of 8-12 reps with a weight that you can barely finish with on the 3rd set.

This. Best for building muscle. More reps of lighter weight is for Toning muscle. No sense trying to tone if you don't got that much to begin with. And if you don't have a spotter, I'd go for something you could do 15 reps on with your first set. Had it too much once and I had to slowly roll the bar with all the weight off my chest and off my stomach, not fun. 3 Sets is good, Don't keep more than 5 minutes in between each set though and don't relax for those 5 minutes either. Take a break too long can cause soreness and lower the quality of your workout. If your not sweating, your not doing it right.

Toning your muscles is one of the many myhts around.
1-5 reps = strenght
6-10 reps = mass
10- ~ reps= muscle endurance
However, doing more reps can help you decrease body fat, which makes your muscles more visible. It's better to keep up with the 6-10 reps and do extra cardio though.
