Are you having trouble sleeping at night?
Is there residual DOMS... or if you were to stretch out, would you (you can try this out) feel achy?...
How does this feel in comparison to how you felt when you needed to take several months of downtime, in terms of recovery?...
If you could place how you feel NOW along the time line to recovery during that period, that will tell you about how much time you'll need to take off...
Where do you fit on this Perceived Recovery Scale?...

Not really if i'm honest, I do sleep a lot though.. I could sleep 11 1/2 hours a night providing there wasn't any commitments nor any real reason to get up for apart from the fact that I've wasted a lot of time in bed lol. In terms of DOMS, I never really get any tbh.. the only time I get DOMS is if I haven't performed an exercise for an extended period of time e.g. 3 + months.
In terms of that scale I would probably sit myself at around the 6-7 mark.. like i say I am not achey or anything, I am sort of in that cba / need a kick up the arse mood. It just kind of seems like effort to go at the very moment in time however If I was there then it could be a different story.
I noticed when doing my last cruise that I enjoyed doing the tier 1 basic which got me in and out the gym in an hour, it kind of felt more enjoyable so to speak.
I was contemplating throughout that cruise that I should maybe give it a full blast at tier 1 as for some reason it felt fun.. (not that tier 2 didnt) but it kind of felt like I wasn't spending hours in there, but then I was worried that there was too little volume to grow which is why I bumped up to tier 2.
