I usually prefer to keep my 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off rotation because I love lifting on Sunday and Monday as well as having Friday and Saturday off. This way I can afford a little more volume and intensity into my ME workouts which'll be good. Additionally, the day between ME days can recharge my "sanity battery", which should help keep motivation higher.
Gotta go and think on this.

My gym is only open from 10-3pm on Thanksgiving, which I'll be working at the time, so I decided to keep my current rotation for next week before I make the change. This way will enable me to NOT miss any workouts because of Thanksgiving. So on Wednesday I do my DE BENCH, skip Thursday's DE SQUAT, and make it up on Friday, which will coincide with my new rotation above.. From then on, I'll stick with the new rotation, keeping a day of rest around both ME workouts.
I chose to have my rest days sprinkled around ME's because I'm anticipating any overreaching my body might be more prone to due to my semi-restrictive diet. The extra recovery between sessions vs. two off days in a row should definately help keep my loading a lot longer without a deload compared to what I'm doing now.
Diet plan has been stuck to for the past six days so far with no cheating. Training days have carbs around working out, veggies after 5pm. Nontraining days have mostly lean meats and veggies. Very simple = Easier to stick to. My protein intake is still sky high as always, but without all the olive oil in my protein shakes, and minus a lot of carbs I normally take in, I should start to lean out. I'm planning on my first gpp workout tonight after work. Should help recover my legs with some extra blood flow. Passive stretching should also help.
Again, I'm not looking for a lot of fast fat loss. My goal is very gradually leaning out while maintaining my strength increases. With all the food I'm STILL taking in, which is quite substantial
, I'll be good to go. Basically, all I did was cut out milk, snacks, starchy carbs, and olive oil. Nothing that requires fitday.com
