If anything, I would think you need more calories on your nonlifting days, since it is when you are recovering.
Hmm, I haven’t heard that one before. Interesting
I’ve read a few on the topic. So getting pedantic but yes, Performance shows a drop, but there’s no distinction between people who usually eat breakfast and are hungry during training and people who are used to it or not hungry in the morning. Cant say that’s not influencing the results at all, but I buy a performance decrease.
Hypertrophy results are less pronounced though, when actually measuring outcomes over training blocks, though the trend is towards slightly less hypertrophy.
So again, not optimal, still not the end of the world,l when you look at effect size, but clearly no benefit to it and certainly no reason not to at least have some carbs and aminos from somewhere.

Apologies, I wasn’t accounting for language at all.
I have to practice, so nothing to worry about.

Haha, if we’re to the point of only noticing a difference in conveying tone on a forum, it’s fair to say your English is damn good. It’s a problem on the internet generally and most native speakers do the same.

Week 1: Day 5
Squat: 1x5-40kg, 1x8-50kg, 4x6-60kg
Bench: 2x7-30kg, 2x5-35kg w/30sec rests, 5x3-40kg w/30sec rests, 2x6-35kg w/30sec rests, 1x10-30kg
4x(8 ovh press-20kg+100 jumping jacks
- pretty tired and sore going in (back a tight and glutes dead), squats felt a lot easier than expected- pleasant surprise, bench really worked chest, shoulders and upper back- not too hard to complete, just felt REALLY long, OVH press stuff killed shoulders and triceps- got HR up and felt good
@Pinkylifting The program calls for good mornings, but I find that my back hurts when I go down “to depth”- even with just the bar. Are they necessary? What could I replace them with? I’m already doing Lunges, Rows and RDLs

Sorry, I’m not Pinkylifting but the bar is 20kg, and 50% of you BW, it’s a big weight for you, especially if you go to the horizontal torso.
The gym doesn’t have lighter bars 
Do you have access to bands? You could do resistance band good mornings.

No…
Not even EZ curl bars? Or attachments for the cable machine?
I often don’t do good monrings honestly. Hyperextensions and reverse hyperextensions are also good and more loadable.
What exactly do you mean when you say your back hurts doing good mornings though, 50% of your BW isnt light, but your response wasn’t that it felt heavy, but that it ‘hurt’.

It literally hurt, like someone was stabbing me
Do you think this pain could be from your surgery?
Probably not it felt more like the pain from horrible, rounded back deadlifts

That sounds like the problem might be more serious than exercise selection. But in the short term id definitely avoid them. Try unweighted reverse hyperextensions for high reps instead. A good back rehab exercise
I would ask for a video of your good morning form, but tbh its not worth doing.
My back was perfectly flat
