Recovery score stuck under 30% for 2 weeks straight. What am I missing?

Hey all, hoping for some input from people who've dealt with chronically low recovery scores.

For context, here's my current weekly training routine:

Monday: Gym (lower body, squats, RDLs, split squats, jumps) + Pickleball 2.5 to 3 hrs

Tuesday: Gym (upper body, press, pulls, wrist work) + Pickleball 2.5 to 3 hrs

Wednesday: Full rest

Thursday: Gym (core/rotational work) + Pickleball 2.5 to 3 hrs

Friday: Pickleball only, 2.5 to 3 hrs

Saturday: Gym (full body/explosive, deadlifts, box jumps, sprints) + Pickleball 2.5 to 3 hrs

Sunday: Full rest

So that's 5 days of pickleball (2.5 to 3 hrs each) and 4 gym sessions per week. Only 2 full rest days total.

I'm 26M, in a lean muscle gain phase right now (eating a small caloric surplus, about 141g protein per day). Last InBody scan put me at 13.8% body fat. Sleep is around 6.5 hours most nights.

My recovery score has been in the red for about 2 weeks straight now, mostly under 30%. Before that it was more mixed with some yellow and decent days sprinkled in.

So I'm wondering:

  1. Is this just what happens when you train this much, or is something actually wrong?

  2. Has anyone dealt with consistently low recovery scores and figured out if they should push through or actually scale back?

  3. How do people actually decide when to listen to the score vs ignore it?

Trying to figure out if I need to change my whole schedule or if this is just normal for someone doing this volume. Any thoughts appreciated.

Quick question about zurg + infuse data usage on local network

Hey guys,

Setting up zurg on my Mac to use with Infuse on all my apple devices (iphone, apple tv, etc). Not using rclone for this, just running zurg directly on the mac.

Just want to double check how the data flow works when I stream on my phone. Does zurg pull the stream from RD to the Mac first and then push it over local wifi to the phone? Just wanna make sure I'm not somehow downloading the file twice over my actual internet connection and using double the bandwidth.

Thanks!

TIL some elevators let you cancel a floor selection by pressing the button twice before arrival (tested it in my apartment elevator and it works)

Anyone else missing Monthly Rewind?

I was really looking forward to get my monthly rewind of the Locket app, but it seems like it’s not generated yet. Is anyone facing this problem?

Has anyone else noticed the explosion of ₹99 courses on Instagram that teach you absolutely nothing?

Genuinely curious if this is just my feed or something more widespread.

Over the past year I've noticed a pattern: someone with 20–50K followers on Instagram suddenly drops a "course" about AI prompting, copywriting secrets, how to make money online, personal branding, etc. It's priced at ₹99 or ₹199. They run stories for 3–4 days, create urgency ("only 20 spots left" for a digital file lol), and then it disappears from their content forever.

I went down a rabbit hole and actually bought a few of them to understand what's inside. Most of them were PDFs or recorded Zoom calls with content you can find for free in the first 10 minutes of a YouTube search. One of them was literally just a list of ChatGPT prompts that took me 30 seconds to replicate myself.

The thing that bothers me isn't just the money. ₹99 is nothing. It's the psychological trick. The price is specifically low enough that you don't think twice. And then when you realise it's garbage, you feel too stupid to tell anyone because "it was only ₹99, why am I complaining."

Has this happened to you? Would love to hear real stories. What did you buy, what did you actually get, and did you feel like you could even complain about it given how cheap it was?

Not looking to name and shame anyone specifically, just trying to understand how widespread this is.

VidHub's HDR / DV is not as good as Infuse (16" MacBook Pro M2 Pro)

I have been using Infuse and VidHub alternatively for a while now and I am convinced that VidHub's DV/HDR is not as good as Infuses'.

You can see the difference clearly with "RRR" movie BDRemux.

Try to play it in both Infuse and VidHub and you will notice a difference in the first 5 seconds.

I am not sure if this is only MacOS problem. I have an Apple TV at home that I cannot test now as I am out of station and travelling.

What is your experience with high quality HDR / DV remuxes on VidHub?
