Second what Jordan says here!

There’s no need. Only what you connect best with and can progress

Try it! See how you like it, how you recover, and how you progress with it!

There’s times where I’ve done it at the beginning, another phase in the middle, another phase at the end

I tend to lean more toward preferring it in the middle
I find at the beginning it fatigues my quads too much and my connection is not as good on my compounds
But if I put it all the way at the end my knees don’t do well with it there

I personally do like to add a pause to my back off set most times. I just like the feel of it.

You just have to try it man and see if you like it, can recover from it, and progress with it!

Just make sure in the pause you’re keeping the tension on the muscle

Are you following a structured diet now?
If so, take the amount you are currently eating and decrease it, and increase expenditure
Take photos of yourself weekly to track progress
If you are seeing steady progress, keep going
If progress stalls, adjust plan accordingly

You answered your own question here man! How much progress are you leaving on the table by not being consistent with the things you know that will produce the results?
If you’re comfortable with subpar results then subpar effort is fine.
But if you are asking here how your progress is, I assume you care about the rate at which it happens!
It’s also hard for us to say how your progress is being we have nothing from you to compare it to.

But my advice would be to get consistent with the things you know you are slacking on, and devote yourself to a fat loss goal and see the progress happen for yourself!

My thoughts on it align exactly has Jordan has already explained here very well for you

It all depends on the person and the season they are in
I have people that do really well on high fat low carb, others with hardly any fat and high carb, and others who do well with a combo of both

It’s going to come down to digestion, recovery, and hormones

Really just have to try one way and see how you like it and then adjust accordingly!

If it is for non competitor lifestyle clients, I give a food “bank” of options for them to choose from, along with macros broken down per meal

Job well done so far!
You’re young, unless you are just wanting to get leaner, I would continue on pushing and growing!

This is a good spot here currently, I would take your push gradual and try to maintain close to this condition while pushing up

[Michaela]

Yes you have room to push harder and you can accomplish it within this time!

I’d increase fasted cardio by 10 min
Pull 15g fat and 75g carbs

Are you utilizing any fat burners? Clen?

I personally use TBJP Sustain, it digests extremely well and doesn’t give me any stomach heaviness. I also notice a difference in my endurance through a session start to finish if I do not use it

Agree with Jordan here! Making a small adjustment first and seeing how much progress you can get out of that before adjusting again!
