I have a rotation but not a schedule. If today is back day, and my back is sore, I do light cardio. I'll do back tomorrow.

First, bravo for not being a dumdum and saying “it’s back day bygawwwdd, I’m doing back!”.

Second, investigate why you’re sore. Are you not giving yourself enough time to recover? If you are giving yourself enough time, are you not giving yourself the proper nutrients to recover?

Third, are you overdoing the wrong stimulus? Junk volume accomplishes fatigue but not stimulus. Tapping a window with a pencil eraser 10000x won’t break the window. Tapping it once with a hammer will. The appropriate stimulus is necessary for progress.

This next part isn’t directed at you (and neither was the above), rather an observation I want to share. The goal is to stimulate, not annihilate. If you can’t recover; you can’t progress. We all know those guys at the gym that look the exact same year round, year after year. But they’re in the gym every day, for an hour plus, and hitting a shit ton of movements! That’s most likely because they’ve committed one or all of the above mistakes.

This will most likely be my dinner for the foreseeable future until I’m able to do cardio and train legs again. It’s also a good example of how it’s not hard to hit your protein intake for the day. Smoked turkey breast, leafy romaine, diced red onion, pepperoncini, pickled okra, smidge of tortilla strips and fat free Italian dressing.

Without doing the fine math, this should be around 400 calories. 60 P/ 8 F / 3 C

Some reason why you can't do cardio or legs right now that you can share? Hope everything's okay.

Did something to my knee, it’s the size of Armybrat’s prostate, but thanks to the dumbshit red tape of health insurance I won’t be getting any imaging done until next week. That will be two weeks post injury. I’m not trying to make it worse, so I figured I’ll lay off it until I can get a diagnosis.

That sucks. I've been so religiously (and probably neurotically) fixed on fitness over the past 10+ years that whenever I get the slightest tweak that might interrupt my routine, it really pisses me off. Hope you're back at it soon enough.

Appreciate it, and it is indeed very frustrating. I have goals, both for strength and appearance, and this is definitely a speed bump. I’m trying to keep an eye on the big picture in that I’ve been at this seriously for almost 20 years, and I want to do it for another 20. I was intending to begin reducing calories at the first of March, so I guess this is just going to accelerate that timeline.
