No it’s not weird, it’s a blessing

Write out what your diet is here

What’s sleep and diet like?
If you’re not recovering you’re not recovering, you’ll have lack of progress from not recovering not by pulling back to recover better.
If diet, sleep, hydration are good then change the training. Just try pulling back and see what happens

That amount of time is irrelevant. All that matters in that case is that you are digesting each meal well

I don’t change anything until/if I have to. I treat training exactly the same, and if there comes a point of recovery declining I adjust volume, but never effort

Don’t stress it. Sometimes an involuntary break can work toward your benefit. Go back into training fresh, take the first week gradual, and by the next week you’ll be like you didn’t miss a beat

I would add fats to the pre training meal, and I would add intra workout carbs and aminos if you are not currently using

It’s not so important that it is absolutely necessary. I personally never train that way myself and very rarely program it with clients. Not that anything is wrong with it, I just do not personally prefer it. But if you are someone that needs variation and volume spread across sessions and a bigger space of time before repeating a session to progress it then it is a good option.

I would keep protein consistent

Embrace it. That’s the cost of being passionate toward progression. Use it toward your benefit and not your detriment. Keep breathing calm

If this was my plan, here is what I would do:

Lower clean to 40mcg one week, 20mcg for one week and then remove

Lower slu to 100mcg for 2 weeks then remove

Lower cardio to 30 min 5x/week

Increase cals 500 on training days, 200 on non training days

Assess weekly as you go along and you can gradually work cardio down and food up based on response if and when needed

Have you expressed this to your coach?

No. Not unless you’re using heart rate and exertion as a form of cardio. If you’re just using the steps as NEAT then it doesn’t matter

If you’re recovering and improving session to session, that is what tells you if it is good for you to continue on or not. So just try it and see!

Jordan and Kuba nailed it here, truly nothing I can add to that

To put it simply, I increase weight when I am failing at the top end of that sets target rep range
