Welcome!

Nice to see some grown ups around these parts.  Anyhow, sounds like your in pretty good shape so high intensity plyos might be ok.  Speaking from experience (I just turned 30), I don't recover like I used to.  I mean, not 3 years ago, I would do Army PT, swim at lunch, and play basketball at night, then get up and do it again.  Never felt sore or got hurt.  Shoot, now if I run 3 times in the same week, my knee hurts so bad I can't do anything.  

I would say, err on the side of caution at first.  You can do whatever you want, just lower the intensity until you tell how you will recover.  What are you current lifts?  Mainly: Squat, Dead, C&J, Snatch, Press and Bench?  Just curious.

Make a journal, and post your workouts on there and lots of folks will comment and give their opinions.  There's a lot of good stuff on here, and everyone is more than willing to share what they've done.  Good luck.

Nice workout, I need to add more plyos in my programming.  I always forget and focus on the main lifts, then try and squeeze them in.  Anyhow, nice job.

Everyone else here is on crack.

Otherwise, the old one.

Tried to think of something witty to say but couldn't think of anything.

I like E too.

That's awesome man.  What did you set your max at on smolov to start?

Well, there's lots of info out there.  And there's tons of books about sports nutrition out there.  I really like Crossfit nutrition stuff.  They have a great deal of knowledge on their message boards.  But nutrition is very tricky, it always changes from person to person.  There's a good article referenced on another thread (I'll find it and link it) that has some good simple rules but what lbss said earlier is dead on.  The basic thing is to eat as clean as possible and as much of that clean food as you can handle.  Shoot for about 500 calorie surplus (mainly from meat if possible).

I like this rule about gaining weight: If you can catch it, BITE IT!

You just have to be creative.  Carrots are just as ways to tote around as nuts.  Don't forget about jerky and trail mix.  They are good alternatives.  But really pay attention to timing of food intake.  Just like in a workout, if you don't rest between sets your body can't catch up.  So eat, then stop, then eat again.  Don't continually snack.

Also, if you are taking in the right amount of calories, you'll naturally lose the ponch and get to an equilibrium.  Once you're down to 12% bf or less, then you can start fine tuning everything.

Gotta get more veggies man!

Man that was nothing for him!  Has he ever tried American Football?  He'd be a beast as an offensive lineman.  Nice work Big Papa!

Uhm, just got weird. 

Something about pagan worshippers?  WTC?
