Im currently doing FBW and I train every other day. The problem is that im weaker than my last workout because they are so close to each other and I havent recovered properly. My question is: Should I follow the plan and train as hard as usuall. Or should I take it easier so that I can recover properly to the next workout?

If you do a FBW every other day you should be totally recovered.... are you getting enough sleep (8 hours) and having enought food/water/vitamins/(...)?
I do a FBW every other day and an hour of hard swimming the days I don't workout and I normally add reps in every workout, so I guess I has something to do with how much you rest. Also do you go to failure in every set?

Well since the semester is over, I have gotten enough sleep, and I do eat alot and 5-6 times a day.           Anyways Three days ago I did my FBW as usuall, for the chest I did benchpress to almost failure which was 6-8 reps for three sets, but since they are one of the first things I train It takes about 2 hours from me hitting the chest to getting home and eating something, could that be the problem, that it takes too long for me to get my protein and carbs in? Cause when I went to the gym yesterday, I was still not fully recovered in my chest. If not is it beacause I have to much weight, or something else? And also if this happends, should I just take it easier on the next workout or go as hard as usuall?
