My thoughts are exactly as Jordan has said. I would go ahead and bring them up again now by another 250 and see how that does you. Continue working it up based on response, visuals, and training feedback

It seems like you have good awareness! In this position I would take a more gradual approach to fat loss.
An aggressive approach would see negative return on your training, and also could impact your upcoming exams when it comes to mental cognition.
If you wanted to start cutting now I would go with a gradual approach over the course of the next 8 weeks and see how you’re progressing and also feeling, and if you’re making progress and still feeling good you can keep going, or if you’re having any decline then you could do a diet break during exams, and then pick the deficit back up after the exams

I personally always kept the same food sources off season and prep, only the amounts varied. Did this for literally 10+ years lol.
If the foods you’re eating digest well for you and you’re seeing progress then there’s no real reason for change.

They all have their place depending on what your split and movement selection is. For back without any need for hamstring and glute volume you can choose a conventional pull, but if you’d like the extra hamstring and glute carry over I’d go with sldl or rdl

Ultimately just pick one and stick to it consistently and see how you recover and progress it over time

This looks good to me. All you can do from here is stick to it consistently and use your better judgement with recovery and how you’re progressing over a month+ time!

My initial thoughts are exactly as Maddy has mentioned.
Having a plan is great, but there’s really no way to find out the steps until you apply the first one and base the rest on response. Coming from a de-trained state, you’re going to be very responsive, so my approach would be starting the diet and the training without any supplemental aids and then assessing as needed from there

This looks good! You can always scale back more on the upper day as well and even have 3 lower days in a week if upper isn’t part of her goal and if she likes that and can recover well

I’d add in a leg press one day and single leg press the other day. Along with a leg curl somewhere would be good

If you’ve only been running it 2 weeks I do not think that is enough time to base an opinion on not progressing at all. I’d give it a few more weeks and if you’re still not progressing then let us know here and we will help more!

First, I mean no disrespect by this, but I’ve been training for 13 years and have been a pro for 10 of them, I’ve never heard of an anterior posterior split. But I understand what you mean.

I personally would not enjoy this at all, there’s so many different movements in one day I would prefer to break that up over more days.

But ultimately all that matters with a split is if you enjoy it, adhere to it consistently, and progress it week to week and see the changes in your physique over time that reflect that

What are your current amounts?
I personally usually go ahead and set fats at a base amount right out of the deficit, and then any additions from there come from carbs until I get to a point that I see a need for additional fats if carbs have gotten to a max amount and need some help sticking

My thoughts were exactly as Hilly had said here prior to me reading his comment. I’d also like to see photos if you can post them here in the comment section. Start of diet and now

It’s just preference and also what you feel has the least impact on recovery from training.
I personally prefer the harder cardio first thing in the morning and then steps in the evening

You honestly have to figure that out based on your recoverability. Set up your split and try it out and see how you get on with it then adjust accordingly from there. And you can report back here with questions to help further
