Definitely common. I personally wouldn’t use it or have clients use it

I personally do not supplement with extra potassium and never have throughout 10+ years competing as a pro. Not saying it doesn’t have its place.
Have you had labs and seen what your potassium level is?

I personally like to split it : session 1: quads, session 2: glutes, session 3: hamstrings

I personally would not have a hip thrust at all four sessions
I want to set it up in a way I can recover and progress session to session, and keep joint integrity in mind as well

Very minor differences and honestly not something to be overthought in your case. Be consistent with your sources and make the changes each time your coach makes the changes

I think this is when learning personal feedback and tracking things as you go along and responding day to day comes in
If this were me, I would just take it day by day. If I am progressing then I just don’t mess with anything, if I’m feeling negative affects then I adjust which a good place would be the direct cardio

The main thing for you man is just going to be consistency. Find the training split you enjoy, the clean foods you like to eat, and stick to this consistently over time and see what it yields, after that you can start breaking it down into phases from there if you need to do a cut etc

Has this just started occurring recently or is it a consistent common thing for you?

Chicken, higher percent beef, rice, potato, oats

Just leave out the extra stuff like sauces, seasonings etc

I don’t like the lean forward approach myself either like Meg has said, and exactly as she has suggested is what I personally do as well

You’re making solid progress! I’d personally keep the protein intact

I wouldn’t call you fat at all and by the looks of it I’d say you’re fine to continue your current phase, but by the feedback of the BG and training would say orherwise
I am curious what your food sources are, daily water intake, and any current cardio?

What type of split and volume did you run in the past when you continuously got injured each season?

It’s great to have a plan, but more important to know this is all on a day to day case by case basis and what you think the plan may be doesn’t always end up being applicable. So don’t be dead set in your ways and incapable of being flexible if needed!

As far as natural vs enhanced, in both cases I believe the best peaking method is to just be peeled and change the least amount of things possible

I personally like to have my rest day calories lower than training day and I like cardio fasted 25 min 4x/week

If you don’t feel it hindering recovery then it’s not hindering recovery. I personally do not drink caffeine other than coffee
