There’s nothing wrong with running the same sessions continuously if you are recovering and progressing. But For upper lower if you’re doing more than one of each per week you could have 2 separate sessions with variations of movements. I wouldn’t change it week to week though.

I agree with the coach.
If you’re a lifestyle client not aiming to put your body on a stage for a goal you have chosen to pursue and say you want, then sure this is fine. But as a competitor part of doing whatever it takes toward your goal is committing to every part of that goal to the best of your ability and controlling everything you can control to be your best.
If you want half way results then follow the plan half way. But if you want full results then follow the plan fullyTBJP Nutrition: Michaela10

Maintenance would just mean maintaining your performance week to week. So log your training and just repeat it

Yes! My favorite way to make it is to actually put it in the freezer and eat it frozen after it thaws just enough to stick a spoon in

Yeah I’m with the rest of the crew here on letting things stabilize. If the weight gain slows down and you need the boost for recovery and training performance, then you can look to bump up again

If it’s a common problem I’d look to volume in your session and if there’s room to reduce it.
Some soreness is fine, it mostly depends on if you’re still progressing training weekly and performance isn’t impacted then it isn’t really a problem
It really depends on how sore and if you’re limited

It’s enough, and if you’re digesting it well and want to try higher you can bump it up to 200g and see how you feel with that

Just get back to plan consistently a few days and it’ll dissipate

Hilly has given you some good advice here
It would be helpful to pull some labs to see where thyroid is so you know your ability to taper it down if needed
Clen I personally would pull down to 40mcg daily for 2 weeks, then 20mcg for 2 weeks, then pull completely
Post what your current macros and cardio are, along with any photos you have and we can help more

Set up non negotiables. It’s all about finding a way and just making it happen.
Use one day a week to bulk prep proteins, portion them out per day, grab and go. Have your water amount for the next day set out the night before. Have your schedule known for the week or day ahead and plan ahead on the times you will do the things you need to do.

Ultimately if it all digests well for you and you’re progressing in the gym then all is good!
Nothing wrong with being analytical and regimented. Use it to your advantage!

If you feel good and are having good performance and training is progressing, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it
You can either do your t3/t4 an hour before meal one, or just move it to the pm an hour before your last meal if you go right to bed after eating. But if you stay up a while you can take it 2 hours after last meal

Honestly man nothing has to change. If you executed perfectly during the cut, all you do is continue that same process of adherence now you just have a bit more food and less cardio

8 days isn’t too much time, you may see after a bit more time it just drops big all of a sudden. I’m curious What have your previous diet phases been like in terms of how quickly it moved for you?
I’d give it another week and assess, also tracking visuals via photos
