Oh ok. Do you have the tendency to bend a lot at the knee or do you have good glute/hip control?

I bend with my hips lowered, if that makes since, but I use to lean forward when doing squats, but I try not to do that.  I asked my husband to observe  my form he said it was a little lower than half.

What is your goal?  Gain weight?  Lose weight?  Clean diet?  Healthier?

Understand this, no matter what anyone says, it is very nearly impossible to gain ONLY lean muscle mass.  You have to add some fat so your new muscles can function.  That's why most Bodybuilders (I know it's a dirty word around here, but nobody builds muscle and cuts fat like them!) use a phased nutrition plan.  Like they have a build up phase and a cutting phase.  

So, step 1 is figure out what you want.  (tougher than it sounds, I'm still working on it!)

I'm looking to get a stronger upper body and if that means eating more to gain weight I'll do that, so Id like to gain more muscle and fast (if possible) Also I'm the mother of a one year old, so I'll need to do this the natural way. I don't know how safe it would be for me to take supplement or a weight gainer. But I like to keep my lean stature and become a lot stronger!! I'm a weakling now.

I've heard that doing squats and deadlifts decrease you vert, but if you do plyo and strength training together you get better results, am i doing to much or am i training wrong.  I'll try it out next week. Also how many weeks do I do it . Should I Increase weekly. Do I ever incorporate plyometrics?  It's a little confusing without knowing the details. Also what's the benefits of doing his workout vs mine.

Well, the typical rule of thumb is "No plyos until you get to 1.5 x BW Squat and 2.0 x BW Deadlift."  I think you can always do some plyos, but at your current strength level, it won't make much of a difference.  It's sort of like a car, you can fine tune it and give it new tires and make sure it's aerodynamic and that will make it faster.  But sooner or later, you need a bigger engine to go any faster.  Stronger Muscles=Bigger Enginer.  That helps me understand it.

Well, as far as your nutrition goes, you don't need supplements.  They make it easier but you don't have to have them.  Putting on weight is easy, EAT MORE!  It's that simple.  Now, what do I eat more of?  That's the tricky part.  I like the paleo style, which means you eat only stuff that grows or runs.  Basically a natural food diet.  In our society, it's next to impossible but if that is the backbone of your diet, you will be better off.  I'd say stick to adding 500 calories per day to your average intake.  And from looking at your little food journal above, it should be mostly protein.  Stick to animal sources if possible, a lot of meat!  That should get you a good 2 pound gain per week.  Once you reach your target lean muscle weight, you can drop back to your normal caloric intake and that should help you cut excess fat.

It's harder than it sounds to eat a lot more than normal.  Especially healthy foods.  You have to eat a ton of veggies to equal a few french fries.

Just my 2 cents.
