Hey Cam, I'd like to point out some aspects, that might help in the future. 1. You mentioned 1600 calories, but this seems too low for C-Bum even in peak week, so I'm assuming you've scaled this to your own weight. If not - keep in mind 2 things - Chris's maintenance is around 3500 kcal, while yours is likely around 2500, given the difference in weight and muscle mass. Second, as you said, Chris DOES NOT sustain such a diet for weeks, this is likely peak week level of restriction. 2. The training modalities of beginner, intermediate and advanced people vary greatly. A "bro-split", i.e. every part has it's own day, or something similar is WAY LESS EFFECTIVE for beginners or intermediate lifters in comparison to other popular splits like PPL or UL (or even 3x Full Body). This much of a focus and resting times between sessions for the same muscle group is required for people with huge amounts of muscle, since they need so much volume and thus, recovery to grow that anything less might be insufficient. All in all, although a fun willpower experiment, there is nothing to gain from such competition level types of restriction and training splits, you're far better off cutting for 6-14 weeks at a time, with a stable(-ish, you might need to auto-regulate) ~500 calories deficit and a good beginner or intermediate split. Cheers!
