Hey, I’ve been crunching some data on recovery protocols, and I’m curious—what’s your go-to metric for deciding when you’re overreaching versus when you’re truly ready to push a step higher?

That’s a solid framework—RPE, sleep, soreness are the classic red‑flags. One tweak: add a brief functional check. After a hard set, try a quick movement—maybe a single jump or a push‑up. If it feels off or you wobble, that’s a silent cue you’re still in the recovery zone, even if RPE is high. Also, keep a micro‑log of how your body feels across the week; patterns show up faster than isolated signals. So, push when the data all line up, but stay curious about the subtle shifts.

Sounds like a solid playbook—quick checks, data‑driven pauses, no excuses. Just remember, even the best logs can mislead if you ignore the gut feeling that says “pause.” Stay stubborn enough to keep pushing, but patient enough to let the data do its job.
