Yeah cardio before the last protein/fat meal is totally fine

You can see it best in the rear double biceps shot if they are lagging behind!
I believe that rear delts respond better to higher reps to be honest. When you are pushing progressive overload to much it can easly happend that you and up pulling a lot with other muscle groups of your upper back!

Cable rear delt 1 set
Smith machine shrugs behind the body 2 sets

When you have a lagging bodypart it’s in most cases a bad mind muscle connection and exercise execution! Make sure your execution is on point first. Maybe do some sessions with a good pt and make sure you feel the muscle you are training and than later on try to push numbers and maybe frequency!

I feel so beat up after yesterdays leg session. Taking a rest day today! My strengthlevels are so trough the roof (at least for me) that I need a lot more rest atm and I have a really hard time taking those extra off days and train less freqeuently but as long is I keep getting stronger I won’t change anything! I’m also very happy with my conditioning at this bodyweight and strength level! I truly believe I can push my bodyweight up to 90kg this offseason without getting too fat!

I would take 5 – 7 days off the gym completely! Every time I did a real deload like this I came back stronger and so much more motivated and driven! Make sure you are using this time to rest and recover and then hit the gym again pedal to the metal!
-
Taking 2 days off to be fully recovered was the right choice! My leg session broke every records today!
Seated calve raises 1 set (triple drop with a dc stretch at the end)

Like most already said i would give cream of rice with whey a try. If this sits in ykur stomach to heavily just do a whey shake with some carbs like cluster dextrin.

All different angles of incline presses, flys and also pullovers. Try to retract your shoulder blades and press with your pecs not your delts
-
Took a second rest day today to feel totally recovered for an epic leg session tomorrow. Joints feeling much better again due to the lower volume. Also recovery is on point.
-
In my opinion – as long as you are getting stronger and making progress – 1 set can be enough if you have the ability to bring enough intensity to those sets.
For me the stronger i get, the more i have to drop my volume to make sure i can recover
-
Today i feel like hit by a truck after yesterday’s session. Back is completely destroyed but i love that feeling. Going to rest today and maybe also tomorrow before i’m going to hit legs again. Now i realize the more i drop my volume and pay attention to my rest during my cruise the more strength i gain.

The join-in in combination with cure-coming works amazing.

I would see a good sports physiologist to make sure what actually is the problem. And till you know what causes the feeling i would avoid every exercise or angle that causes the feeling. Maybe pre exhaust for chest with some flys.
