Default overtraining?

At first look I would say that you are putting yourself into a state of overtraining. I used to train the same way, and after a while I couldn't make gains ... until I started resting.

But each person is different, and whta works for one person may not be what works for the next person ...

But .. to your question ... Running a CKD is more about fat loss than muscle gain. You would train 3 days per week, if you followed typical CKD guidelines.

I found it best to train heavy and hard on Monday, using as many compound moves as you can handle.

On Wednesday, do isolation work on smaller body parts. I like to use supersets on that day.

On Friday, do a full body depletion workout. Then carb-up.

You may experiment and do more weight training during the week, but I tried it, and it's no fun training while you are carb depleted. No strength, no power. No fun.

Training during the carb-up would be counterproductive as it would interfere with glycogen storage.
