Rest day today! Feeling really beaten from yesterdays session. Especially my upper back is really sore. Didn’t have a good night sleep! Hoping to get a good nap in the afternoon! But what feels really great is that actually I have no joint pain at all! Can’t remember when I had that the last time! 😉

Always weigh you foods before cooking.

I agree with the others. Try to reduce cal a little and then push back up afterwards. A litte cardio in the morning might help to. In make case it does. And use more caloric dense food!
-
For losing bodyfat there is no difference. It just depends on a caloric deficit but for best performance I would place them around your workout to make sure you have enough energie to fuel you workouts and recovery afterwards!
-
No definitely not! As long as you can progress your lifts everything is fine!
-
No you don’t need to! But you can have some. Just make sure there is not a lot of sugar in them! And make sure you are well hydrated!

Hy Max!
Volume and split looking pretty solid! Only thing I would change is the Racklift in Upper B followed by Dorian Deadlifts on Lower B! Personally I think this is to much beating for your lower back and not enough time to recover and progress! I would leave one of those 2 out but that’s just my personal preferance! Depending on how strong you are on those lifts it will take a lot of time to recover from.

Good morning guys and girls!
Feeling a lot better today after yesterdays rest day. Can’t wait to hit the gym again. Finally it’s starting to get summer here in Austria so maybe I have the chance to get a little sun bath after work today! 😉 Also starting to work on a game plan for my competetive season in autumn. NABBA Austrian championships and Universe are fixed but maybe I’m going to do one of those IFBB pro qualifiers. I think a weight class is going to fit me much better than a height class!

In your full body routine I would focus on the heavy compound lifts like Deadlifts, squats, military press, etc. On your upper/lower days I would bring in a little iso stuff where you can focus on your individual weaknesses!
-
Very person dependent! When your strength levels become very high you will need more time to recover. To build up that strength you can go with higher frequency. I only do really heavy lower back loading every 10-14 days. Just give it a try and listen to your body. As long as your strength increases everything is fine! There is no golden rule because recovery depends on many other factors to like activity levels, stress, slepp, caloric intake, etc.

Hy Jonny!
Yes 6 to 8 weeks is a good mark but like clare said it’s very person dependent and you are said that you are pretty new to bbing. So I think you are not that strong already. The stronger you get the harder it will be to recover and deloading becomes more and more important! I would stick to training as long as you are making progress in your workout. When you are getting stronger everything is fine. It’s ok to feel a little wrecked after intense training sessions. I would to a deload when my training stops to make progress for several workouts in a row. Then take 5-7 days off the gym and rest!

Rest day today and tomrrow! Had a great nap in the afternoon! Conditioning is getting better and better again since I returned to bbing training. And my body feels a lot better. Almost no joint pain any more! I’m training very instinctively at the moment. I have my split and my numbers to beat but no training days set in stone! And my body is responding very well. I’m getting stronger and leaner at the same time without any change in my drug use!
-
Definitely yes. Gives you a little boost and better thermogenesis! Espcially when you don’t drink a lot of coffee on a normal daily basis! Also make sure you are well hydrated before doing fasted cardio!

I orderd one size smaller than my normal shoe size but switched to inov8 with a flat sole!
