What do you mean travel toward hips?
Good quad stimulus is going to come from knee extension. The better ranges of motion I was able to get into, the more my quads progressed, but also I learned how to use every bit of that range of motion

I would like to see your full diet written out, and if you want to post it here or instagram dm me I’d like to know if you have had your cycle and if you are natural or enhanced. Current photos would be good to see also.
This all would be helpful extra context to help you specifically

I have intra training eaa’s and sometimes carbs, and then the whole food meal 1-1.5 hr later

Sounds like upper lower is a solid option in your scenario. JP has videos going over your exact question on how to set these sessions up!

The body fat that you can perform best at and continue progressing in training, and your health metrics are good

Ghee butter is a good option. I personally just do not like butter, but if it digest well for you and you don’t have other options that are better then sure go for it

I would honestly recommend a coach, it seems as though you could benefit not only physically, but mentally by taking the confusion and distress off of yourself and putting your confidence in a coach

Honestly it just comes down to what keeps you truly progressing over long periods of time without injury. If that’s without sleeves, great. If that’s with sleeves then I think it can be fine too, but only as long as you are not compensating

To touch on your last question, lowering the weight to set a new base is not going to cause muscle loss as long as from that base your goal is still progression

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
