What’s the best way to know when you’re actually recovered?

What’s the best way to know when you’re actually recovered? I feel like I’m either overtraining or being too lazy. Some days I feel great, some days I feel like I got hit by a truck. How do you guys tell when to push and when to back off?

Sleep and mood are big indicators. If you’re waking up feeling trashed every day or dreading the gym, you’re probably pushing too hard. If you’re just feeling a little sore but still excited to train, you’re fine.

Strength progression tells you a lot. If your lifts are going down, you might be under-recovered. But if you’re still hitting numbers and just feeling a little beat up, you’re probably okay.
