ok j'bo this is what i'm suggesting

1. I like idea of you keeping same workout program for 4 weeks that way it is long enough time to see if changes we made made a difference

2. get body fat measured every 4 weeks so we know which direction we are going and can make adjustments rather see you higher caloires add cardio in to keep you burnining

3. keep variable constant (cardio, weight training programs, eating pattern) less variables changing more we can pin point problem area

4. focus more on whole food during the day time (if possible) and most of supplements centered around your workout . glutemine, bcaas,ect

5 arrange carb intake according to the body part work
chest, back - 2 to 1 carb to proteins post workout

legs- 2 to 1 carbs to protein
arms = 1 :1 ratio
shoudlers 1:1 ratio

if you do cardio afterward weight training carbs can be increased

stick with same programs you are on for now and after 2 more weeks we will access and make changes.

Don;t be so much concern about the weight rather then the stimuuls from the movement and control. Yes you can get stronger no doubt but we are training for fitness not power lfting so we need to focus on hitting area needs to be worked ad broken down. "oh it was too easy" well slow down rep speed then.

Diet wise everything looks fine as long as you are fine with way you look. i would try to get offseason weight to about 150 -155 and hold that so your body gets used to carrying it around and then we will harden up up to 140-142 in contest shape. Just by focusing mainly on power movements and keep cardio to 3 -4 days a week, keeping caloires in check you should be well on your way to achiveing your goal

traditional carb rotations would be

high 250
med 125
low 75
med 125
high 250
med 125
low 75

high - 200
low - 50
low - 50
low - 50
high - 200

low -50
low -50
high -200-225
high 200-225

Next year I will be working with victor numyez from NY (trains victor martinez ) so for me there will be no more guessing games with diet.. I just do what i'm told and will not question him and I'm sure i will be learning alot of new information. he is old school

so many different sequences you can play with
just have to find ont that works for you and you are comfortable with

offseason is for experimentation and knowing your body and seeing what works and does not work. I may skip USAS and go right to nationals. I haven't decided yet !! best advice is 2 try tthings for 2-3 weeks and see how body responds. Taking photos and evalutions every 4 weeks will be long enough to see what results have been produced and what changes need to be made. Personally your diet stay pretty constant and change only slightly. Main purpose is to gain quality offseason and that is done by keeping constant monitoring of self. best of season approach would be some thing like a 45 P 30 carbs and 25% f intake. more so its the amount of caloires taken in that matter. A good palce to start is about 14 times body weight (on a weekly bassis) and hold it there 2 weeks and see what happens then if you are getting to lean up caloires by 150-200 caloires keep all other variable the same (cardio) and make small adjustments

That looks pretty good to me.

Since you are bulking now, I'd probably go with a little less fat and some more low GI carbs. Things like oatmeal, fiber one, more veggies, fruit etc.

But if you don't respond well to carbs that should work too. I like the rotation for a bulk.

with your metabolism as fast as it is. That No carb day should just be kept yo 50 -75 grams complex carbs taken in the morning and after you train and you should have no problem with it being stored as fat. After a cheat day may be sugestable to to lower over all caloires (rather then carbs cut your fat in from oils. ) and it all should level out.
