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?TBJP Nutrition: Michaela10

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

I second as Hilly has suggested. Really just depends on your recovery and training performance and monitoring body composition

Does it affect your training and progressions negatively? If not and it’s just a sensation then I wouldn’t be concerned with it
I’d also look to your execution and why you’re feeling it in your neck. Make sure you’re keeping a neutral spine and not cranking your neck back like crazy when the reps get hard

I am not sure about over there, but here in the states it has more preservatives and extras mixed in so that would be why I wouldn’t use it. But if that’s not the case there then there’s nothing wrong with it if it digests well for you

I like all rep ranges
Big body parts and big movements top set 6-10, back off sets 10-15
Smaller body parts, smaller movements 8-15
Sometimes I’ll even take progression all the way into the 20’s
Just progressTBJP Nutrition: Michaela10

JP nailed it here with my exact thoughts before I even read his reply.
If you’re already training with accurate form, feeling the muscle, making the reps feel hard, controlling the weight, keeping each rep consistent and not making them easier when the set gets harder, then all you do is mimic that next week and aim to progress itTBJP Nutrition: Michaela10

I don’t particularly track it. I have the same amount of eaas each training day and it never changes. Have done this for over a decade.
Just be consistent and don’t drink it willy nilly all day long in different amounts every dayTBJP Nutrition: Michaela10
