Like everybody said your calories are extremely low for that bodyfat level. I would go up in carbs significantly for a few days to push your metabolism!

You don’t need to get sore to grow buddy! As long as you feel the muscle and progress your strength everything is fine.
-
I would do a controlled reverse diet and add calories when your strength hits a plateau! With this technique you can get out the most of your rebound phase without getting fat!
-
I would do full body or upper/lower were you hit one week upper twice and the other week lower twice!

I would always train to failure in a caloric deficit because the main goal should be to keep as much muscle as possible. And when you take away the stimultion you are definitely going to loose more muscle.

I wouldn’t eat that close pre workout because digestion will draw blood into your stomach which you need fir your muscles during workout.
Using intra workout drinks depends on how long your sessions are.

Good idea for your digestive system but i wouldn’t do it when you have some kind of therapie because your body will need nutrients to recover and heal. But that’s only my individual point of view
Hi Michael,  do you know something? I didn’t even think of that!!!
Due to a bad back, it’s hard to train full body, so switched to push pull and include some quads on push and hams/calves on pull just to keep them used to being worked.[/quote]
Hy mate.I have no clinical studies but it’s proven that when you are suffering from any kind of injury and you are dealing with pain your body needs protein and nutrients for a maximum recovery process to heal. When you fast and don’t give your body the right nutrients the recovery is going to take longer and your body is going to utilize the protein from your muscles.

When you train only once a week i would rotate between 2 exercises and when you hit them more frequently with ppl or upper/lower i would rotate between 3 exercises.
