Cutting?

[Texas Monster]

when you are trying to lose weight, you dont want to be doing power lifting... you want to be in the first stage of training, which would be stabilization training... you would be doing 60% of your max weight 12-15 reps... you would be using stabilization equipment like bosu balls and stability balls to do some of your lifts so you are having to work your core as well as your muscles... you also will only want to take 30-45 seconds in between sets which will build your muscular endurance...

For Bodybuilding and general weight training yes this is the way to go, however when training for football you have to keep your strength up and keep your explosiveness up.

That is why I suggested a hybrid workout. You are still getting your explosiveness from your powerlifts, ie power clean, hang clean as well as your solid foundational strength ie bench as well as endurance and high rep excercises from the super sets. Now the only thing we would have to do to combine your theory with mine is to add in using the buso ball with the super sets.

Around your workouts.

When I cut I put My carbs first thing in the morning, after working out, and I might do a little bit in the evening ( like 1/4 sweet pot ).

Looks like you got rid of your gyno. Pictures are not that good though.
