A bit off topics from OPs post but since you are bringing it up I have a question for you:
As far as that split, how do you like to change it when you are not on cycle? I’m trying to figure out if I want to go down from PPLx2 during cycle to PPLx1 off cycle, or perhaps continue trying to do exercises 2x a week but focus more on major compound movements. Right now I do a mixture of compound, isolation, and minor amount of plyometrics.
