When do you train back ?

Your diet is good, except you should be getting more simple carbs post-workout

Someone likes sandwiches. Train your back and personally I wouldn't have a whole workout dedicated to arms, they get a lot of work anyway - or should do if you are training right and incorporating enough heavy movements for back and chest especially. Maybe 6-9 hard sets for triceps, less for biceps. I like to train tris after chest as I prefer dips and close grip benches which are gonna hit the chest anyway. Biceps after back although I change this from time to time. If you have a whole workout for arms, your triceps are getting hit 3 days per week - chest, shoulder and arm days. Too much IMHO.

The only thing I can offer is sometimes i think people go a little too overboard on the eating thing. Life is too short to eat such a simple and boring diet every day. Having a sugar snack or eehh gads! some actual pasta or even worse whole eggs once in ahwile will not kill you or harm your workout regime. Enjoy your diet so that when your 70 years old you dont look back and hate what you did as a youngster. :)

I'm curious, do you often feel sleepy even though you get enough sleep?

Turkey has natural chemicals that can do that.

The amino acid triptophan in turkey acts on the neurotransmitter serotonin - which makes you sleepy.
