Unweighted, they're harder than you'd think.

Nice post. Mostly true, but I don't think health/fitness/training is as "cookie cutter" as a lot of people on this forum seem to think it is. He's mostly right though.

I'm pretty tall as well, 6'4' 218 lbs and I've never really had any problems with my tendons. Maybe you doing too much volume or have poor form? At 6'3' 185, your height and weight really shouldn't be the issue. I would start by having someone check your form on your core lifts.

Tough choice since you are limited to 4 days in a row. I like doing the total body workout but from what I've read they generally require 1-2 days of rest in between and you don't have that option. The split may be the best option since you have better control of what muscles are being worked and which are being rested.

The real point to dieting is to lose fat while maintaining muscle....eating too little slows the fat loss and helps you lose muscle. There's a sweet spot.

I'm a beginner here myself, so I defer to the more experienced...but that looks like way too few calories to me. Almost half of your protein is coming from whey. I'd eat more lean meats and throw in some veggies...lots, actually.

Waste of money. It's basically caffiene with a bunch of additives... it also says to "take on an empty stomach" which is terrible advice pre-workout. Stick with coffee or caffiene pills + food before workouts.

What are you stats and how much are you gaining? First thought I guess is water retention, but I don't see anything with much (or any) sodium, so that's not likely.
