Time for a break.
I tend to use the gears of a car to describe the intensity of what I am doing at the time. Over, the last few months I have been running at 6th gear (7th gear if I am M5). Anyway, it is time for a break. Tomorrow is my last day of training for this week and I am going to finish strong. Next week I am going to relax and bump my calories up to around 2500-3000 to encourage relaxation and repair. The goal of this bump of calories is to trick my metabolism.
After my break, I am going to jump right back into 6th gear, however things are going to be different. I am going to switch to a 4th split with Friday being a 2nd leg day and de-load workout. De-loading means that I am going to try and remove as much glycogen from my muscles before I carb load.
Good luck and keep hitting the weights hard!

I second Al–1961. I would love to get a rundown of the Anabolic diet.

Brief run down is high fat and high protein, little to no carbs. On the weekends you would load up on carbohydrates while keeping protein levels moderate and fat low.
