How do you ultimately decide if you can train or should rest

I was gonna light work on technique and mobility and stretch. However my neighbour is +80 and she hears it so I don't after 8 pm. However if I go light it won't make noise.

Plus should I even do that or wait till tomorrow. I'm sore.

I feel energised after workouts like yesterday evening, thinking tomorrow it's go time. Than wake up and feel the fatigue and damage.

Plus I never do light work. I train or don't.

Maybe I should try out the light route and hit the bag light, air shin checks, shadow box, warm up, stretch.

When I bang the bag it makes noise that she can hear not in a apartment but in her house next to me over the garden.

My set up at home is also extremely raw. Dachboden. Would need 2 batteries for light.

Shall I do this and see if it worked.

In the end each day is different and you only know afterwards if it was the right call.

I def will not over train intensity from now on and then need rest days. My goal is 6x a week or whenever I don't gotta work all day. I even usually do leaving it in the gym at the end of sessions mostly where I frantically do some circuit or last round on the bag to entirely destroy me. Then wonder why I can't train each day and what is wrong how do pros trains daily.

Consistency wins over splurges.

I think I'm trying out the light technique work. Alone but whatever I'll turn on music. Beats playing Dota now. The win here is also the ritual. The more often you settle to do any session the more natural and easy to do it again it becomes.

Actually I'm tired / sore just gonna rest. It's late already. Topic is the same though.
 
I try to train daily. But then there are overtime hours at work, so I miss workouts. So I rest and head back to the gym to continue training.

I say, train as much as you can recover from. Rest days are either built in into your training program, or they will force themselves into you. It just depends.
