    I turned pro and won pro shows without ever knowing what that was or why it mattered. And I am no genetic anomaly.
    I think there comes a point and time when you’re so advanced that you need to take these things into account, but for the great majority it is not something they need to be concerned with

    I have pretty much always had a difference in carbs on training days vs non training days in every season deficit and surplus

    Honestly man the best thing to do is not overthink it and just pick one that you think you’d enjoy the most and adhere to consistently over time and give that a good run for a while aiming to progress session to session and I promise you’ll see progress

    That’s going to be a slower movement to progress anyways. If you are still getting a good stimulus just keep at it. If you’re not making progress at all in the gym or physique then switch

    Honestly you could just do all three divisions for fun. But if legs are going to be more lagging than they are in these pics due to the hip replacement then I’d do men’s physique.
    If they bounce back and you want to do men’s bb just learn how to pose them better

    It’s super easy to make your own version of simple meal options instead of going for processes sources.

    Carb sources: Cream of rice, oats, fruit, honey

    Protein sources: whey iso, egg whites

    Fat sources: almond butter, coconut oil, nuts

    Yes this is quite normal so you’re able to gradually pull down, and take any necessary breaks to continue progressing forward
    It is only a detriment if you are driving down hard that entire time

    Squat and press to what feels biomechanically comfortable to you.

    Just get to growing bud. No need to drastically increase cals all at once. Just gradually work them up and focus on training progressively!

    I do not see any pictures here.
    But ultimately all that would matter is if it is your hearts desire to compete then yes it is possible. Why not just try and see?

    I would look to reduce the pressing movements if you see a hindrance in progression

    What has your limitation been? What has stopped progressing and/or has regressed? What is your training volume like? What are your movement selections and order?

    Cardio – steps/jogging

    Lower body movements : body weight squats and lunges, can add weight with gallon water jugs

    Upper body movements : presses, curls, extensions can all be done with gallon water jugs as well

    There’s no issue here if you have a lunch box with and ice pack or baggie full of ice next to the food. If you’re really concerned then just prep meals the night before and freeze a few of the later meals and they can thaw throughout the day of your travel
