How about doing 2 workouts a week or over some other scale, first upper body, the second lower body?
Upper body then 2 or 3 days off, then lower body and again 2 or 3 days off, etc. All muscles would get 5-7 days of rest. All muscles could be subjected to harder work, as each workout would concentrate only on half the body.
Been doing something like this for about a month now (before that at home with dumbbells and body weight for about two months). In the span of 8 days I have 2 gym workouts, one upper, the other lower. In those 8 days I also go running/sprinting (whichever I feel like) 2 times, and then I have easier upper and lower body at home with body weight and dumbbells. Within 8 days 5-6 hours of workout.
Between exercises/sets I try not to rest, or rest only 5-10 seconds if weaker muscles give up too quick. Trying to build strength, stamina, endurance so resting moments would eventually disappear.
The fasting definitely is not good in regards to muscle and strength gain.
Fasting is not something that should be done this often... Perhaps once a month. Forcing fast onto yourself is detrimental to health. There are times when body itself gives signs of a good fasting time, but this isn't even a monthly thing... in fact fasting has absolutely nothing to do with "time". Do you eat something that gives you toxins that you need to get rid of by fasting? Or are you reestablishing a specific energetic state in your body that is distorted with consuming (specific) food?
What kind of water do you use? Water reacts to EM waves, to sound, even to human emotions (which are reflected from the person in some waves to the surroundings). In liquid form it changes its structure, it remains liquid, it looks still like water, but the molecular structure changes. And our bodies use best harmonious, "beautiful" structures. (My father once put tap water into two cups, the same water, then affected one cup and had his mother and sister try both and asked which one was better. Water from the same place, the same water. Both said in one cup the water tasted better. Both the same cup. They didn't know why, probably still don't, even my father didn't then know. Don't even know why he did it. That was years ago I think.)
There's a movie that gives thinking material.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itloBORPrag&feature=kp Might require some understanding of many other areas of our world, of us (what we really are, our "true" form; not this what you see with your eyes, because this doesn't come anywhere close to what we are), and what's "really" going on, to understand this.
Best to forget "science", as it's largely, but not wholly, fantasy based on lies and delusions (all of which is intentionally designed this way and kept this way, and not for anyone's good).
Why lose weight? It is pointless... If you eat right then your weight will be right, or will go right soon. Body weight is a completely pointless thing to fuss with/over... You are who you are and as you are, if you eat right and your lifestyle and your mind is right then there's nothing else to do but accept who you are and simply let go of all the trifles. If something is off then it is not because you haven't done something "unnatural".
