Glycogen depletion workout day!

I’m definitely done cutting . I don’t have anything left to cut . The only fat left is a small amount on my lower back and on the butt . It’s time to take a very careful approach to putting back on some size . My bench has dropped immensely. I can’t bench 3 plates anymore . My bench is around...

I am essentially running The Ultimate Diet by Lyle Macdonald, with a 531 style workout plan .
The overall goal is to put on a bit of size while keeping body fat levels the same . It’s going to be hard to pull off but it’s also going to be a lot of fun .
This will be a six week log.
Diet:
Monday- Thursdays evening will be low carb diet. Calories will also be kept low . From Monday- Thursday evening I will be running a calorie deficit of -25 percent. Carbohydrates will make up a maximum of 20 percent of my daily macros on these days. Protein will be set between 1-1.5 grams...
Here’s a breakdown of the rep scheme:
Workout 1 and 2 to be completed on Monday/ Tuesday will be glycogen depletion workouts . I will be doing high rep/ short rest periods . Reps will be in the range of 10-20 and rest periods will be between 1-2 minutes . A lot of supersets will occur .
Diet/ training plan :
I am going to be running a bastardized 531 program that I have made up on my own . The reasoning behind this is that I have tailored my training to relate to the diet plan I will be running . Here is the training program :
