I'm going to ask you guys to take a look at my diet/training journal. I understand it's a lot of data, but in order for you guys to help me out I believe it is paramount you have all the facts.
I'll apologize for the length in advance.
This post contains my training/supp/nutrition log starting January this year. I know it's a lot of data, but I figured if I'm going to be asking questions then YOU need all the facts.
My current goal is to cut back down to around 200, plus or minus a few. Here goes:

This is current, thru this morning. Decent numbers, I?m just not use to doing such a low volume of work. Then again, the numbers don't lie. My weights are steadily going up, which is the point. Tomorrow is Shoulders and Tri's. Just FYI (also helps my ego), poundage's could be higher, I'm just trying to ramp it up slowly, seeing as how long my layoff was.

Tail bone:/
Was helping a friend out with an engine, and ended up busting my arse. Went to the doctor as my tail bone is noticeably bruised/inflamed. Doc told me to take a couple of days off. I guess this came at the right time. Per the Max-OT I'm suppose to take a week off every 8 weeks. First time doing this so we'll see how it goes. Even though I'm laid up I'm still getting at least 4 meals a day. Not 6 I know, but 4 is better than 3.
With any luck I'll be back in the gym on Monday. Keeping my fingers crosses.

Back after a week off
Due to my ass being busted (on the ground, not the federallies), I only worked out Monday of last week. I've healed enough that I was able to get back in there this morning. Here are my numbers (warm-up not included):
Leg Press 3x820 6x720 4x730
Hack Squat 6x180 6x230 6x270
Str8 Leg DeadLift 6x185 6x185 6x185

Good workout, was a little overzealous I guess in regards to the leg press. I'll get there.

Notes: Workout went well, although I was noticeably weaker with the higher rep scheme/lower rest intervals. This was expected, regardless it never sits well with the conscious.

My goal is to be at 235 by Saturday morning. Short-term goal is to get to 210, 27.5 pounds to go!

128 oz water
Supps: 1 multi, 2 vit C
Notes: Had a good workout, was able to squat more than what I expected. However, I do feel run down today. I got in bed last night no later than 10 pm, get up at 4 am. With this being Wednesday I've already hit my body with 3 separate weightlifting sessions. All of which have been pretty intense. I'm sure that this reason, coupled with the carb restriction is to blame. Right now I'm limiting it to around 100-110g per day.

Notes: Received the supps I ordered from CL. Not sure if I'll start them on Monday or if I'll hold off. I'm leaning towards the latter of the two. Due to the fact that my work set weights have been improving/I've been leaning up on my own. I think it would be wise to wait until I need an extra boost. Say when I'm worn out from the gym, or I've hit a plateau.
