I saw a reply that Stevesmi made on a training post that i read last night, I had a light 
go off in my head. I came to the conclusion after reading his reply that maybe I am not maximizing my own training by spending two hours in the gym 5 days a week maybe I'm going backwards with progress by doing this week after week destroying the body instead of maximizing effectively with less time.
Some might say well take a deload week I am trying to skirt around it so to speak by pushing myself but not going for broke all out like I've been doing since April.
It's mainly my legs that aren't recovering they are constantly sore and burning and feeling weak compared to the rest of my body parts nothing else is bothering me as much as my legs Not recovering very good week 2 week.
So today I decided I was going to try and target 1 hour gym sessions cardio included into that for the next 2 weeks and see what happens. Grade how I feel how I recover progress etc.
I am far enough into the cut that I can feel I'm not recovering effectively even with sleeping 7-8 hours a night and being into my calorie deficit along with adequate water intake and protein intake. So I will try this new approach and see how I fair in 2 weeks time. If if works I roll with this for a while if not I deload and go back at it hard again after.
