thanks for any replys

Probably a part of the problem if not the cause. You need to make sure you're pushing the recovery nutrition. Having consulted in the premiership I can tell you that this is one this we really, really stress.

However, when was the last time you got a week off? If not for 6 weeks would take a week off completely (maybe a little stretching and foam roller work) and then see how you go.

Don't drop food intake on your week off, though you may get a little 'smoother' you can't derail body fat goals in one week.
