No. Quite normal. I've talked about this on our podcasts

 

[ceo]

bros maybe you should try doing a deload week

 

[ROIDDERS]

more definition is definitely a good thing

 

[chesty]

you're getting more than enough protein every day maybe even too much

 

[Ulter]

maybe lower your protein a little bit it might be straining your kidneys too much

I think you should just take a day where you fast the whole day just to give your stomach a break

 

[2Thick]

I think you're just eating way too much food and it's wearing your body out
