Diet has been on point, weighed in at a solid 205, will continue with my carb cycling diet, started to add in more carbs as of today, mostly brown rice. Will add in more cardio as well, been playing alot of volleyball in the sand, love the sand running. Will try to get atleast one plyo day in each week as long as time permits.

Sand volleyball huh. I wish I lived near a beach so I could do cardio in the sand and then cool off in the water or use it for resistance. But not in Ohio! :(
 
Thanks Crader, I love running in the sand, supposed to be great for your ankle stability as well.

I am going to revamp my diet as well, I will post up my proposed macros and some sample menus for everyones critiques.

9-10-09 Off day/Stretching

Took my 2 caps again with breakfast then headed off to work. My appetite is a little improved, feeling hungry about an hour after each meal instead of the normal 3. Legs are still sore but I'm feeling strong. No lack of energy. I work nights 7PM-7AM and usually am slightly tired all night, I am feeling slightly more awake and have more energy. Had some very restful sleep, woke up feeling refreshed, tomorrow will be shoulders, traps, abs, and cardio. I will post pics and opening measurements tomorrow after work.

Felt great today, didn't have much time to workout so I basically went through it non stop. Appetite is definately bigger than usual, muscle recovery is better as well. Tomorrow will be some cardio, probably bleachers. Calf cramp is better, probably was just a little dehydrated.
