From a bodybuilding standpoint of view I’d say you don’t get enough calories. If you work out half an hour a day on average (you probably do more right?) and you only weigh 125 lbs you should consume at least 3000 kcal every day. So you see, a bodybuilder at 200 ripped pounds would need to double that.
As for going to the bathroom, yes, it’s the life of a bodybuilder… You can minimize the fullness by replacing certain meals with gainers or MRPs. You need a tough stomach for handling all that food, but it gets easier with time. I weighed 200 ripped pounds before I got down to my current size with an intake going from 6000 to 2500-3000 kcal, so I know.
A gallon of water a day seems quite much to me if you’re weighing 125… Either it has to be very warm where you live or you’ve locked yourself up in a sauna! Half that intake, or you will continue to waste nutrition from your blood – It leaks right out. I drink around 2 cl per pound of bodyweight. No deficiency and no abundance.

At all times, make sure you keep your calorie intake above your vital expenditure or you’ll lose your body’s, naturally supreme, anabolic effect. I think cycling carbs/fat is unnecessary, unless your mind is persistent in this. You automatically cycle it on your resting days. As for each amount of protein, carbs and fat you take, if one of your energy source has to suffer it should be carbs, then fat, but NEVER protein. The body can transform protein into both carbs and fat if there is a lack in any of it, but generally not the other way around. The process actually burns fat! Protein also affects the metabolism way more than either fat or carbs, which also burns fat. You can almost not get too much quality protein. Still, keep it moderately.
Fat gain IS overcomable with cardio, especially high intensity interval training (HIIT). HIIT makes your body extremely anabolic, for a short time at least. It’s preferable in the morning and perhaps after a weight session. As long as you keep it quick, 15-30 min tops every now and then. You might have to put some extra calories into your diet, especially pre- and post-workout nutrition, but it’s definitely worth the benefits if you manage to reap them. It’s all about timing.
I believe dieting is quite simple, you just eat with some common guidelines in mind and hope it’s enough. However, the most important thing you can do to build muscle is dead heavy and basic weight lifting. The more intense the better. Instead of trying to cycle your training, just aim to increase that intensity with every workout and get more nutrition with every week of progress. Trust me, there’s no other way around it.
If you’ve got a great OVER-ALL (no pun intended) physical foundation, I DO NOT think you should or need to emphasize any body part, but if your persistent… YOUR split is all right. It’s the same split I used a decade ago. However, if you really want my opinion, then read my article, “Bodybuilding as a Whole”.
Hope that answers some questions for you, OR better yet, questions some answers!
