Ive been keeping my diet pretty straight, proteins, always trying to eat cleanly, eating my carbs etc. I have trouble with the 5-6 meals a day, as i usually only get around 4.

Ive currently been training at my highest possible output for chest, shoulders, and also arms. Basically always going to failure or 90% to failure.

What rep ranges do you recommend when you dropped the weight down?, and how often did you do it for? (ex. 1 light chest workout followed by a full weeks rest and then a heavy chest workout persay)?

Try to get that 5th or 6th meal in. And don't worry about eating "clean", you can and should indulge in some junk food first thing in the morning, and after you work out. You body will use up all that energy, and will probably need it anyway. (you're fasting all night, and after you work out your body will be starved of nutrients)

Bodybuilding is all about experimentation, measurement, and correction.

When dropping weight, I've dropped enough to do a few sets in the 12-20 rep range.

Sometimes it's only 1 or 2 sets, followed by 3-4 heavy heavy sets. (the lighter weight seemed to prime me up for the heavy weight...even fter i already warmed up.)

Other times I've done a light week and lifted high reps for every exercise that week. Rested, and then went heavy again.

I never take time off from the gym except when im sick...for me i find that i lose alot of strength fast, so i always have to be eating andalways have to be lifting.

I just adjust sometimes and go really light, then when i feel better i go back to heavy heavy.

hope this helps. feel free to msg me for more tips.
