BW workouts may work but the backloads might have to dial back some or go about doing CNS.

So that means I have to eat less than an iPhone sized sweet potato/yam on my backload nights or you mean just go totally CNS when I only have carbs once a week regardless my training days?

Oh no I mean if you planned on having tons of foods it won't be ideal. BW workouts can be ok for CBL, just tweaks will have to made but CNS I am most sure it will be better there.

Ok I for sure won't load a lot of carbs on backloading cuz women won't usually need as much as men 🙂 As for tweaks for my WO, any suggestions? I do have weights such as:35lbs sandbaga pair of 12-15lbs dumbbell2 mini SB (10 lbs each)one 10lb metal bar - which I could make into a DIY olympic bar by strapping my sandbag and my 2 little 10lbs SB.Example of my upper body weight training:3x5, 3x3 3x1DB upright row & press up (a pair of 12.5lbs DB) - used 15lbs at last setDB triceps kick back (a pair of 8lbs DB)push upsseated pull ups with dip station (assisted way up/unassisted negative way down)Any suggestions/tweaks for my WO will be greatly appreciated!Thanks!
