Diet and training not mixing? WTF?

[Slyder190]

Okay I was cutting down for summer. started a few months back. Was gonna go all out low carb except PW by June 1st. I had been cutting dow ncarb meals slowly since late Feb. I completely deflated from my bulking cycle this winter (whole 'nother story, but used proper PCT). I was gonna wait till next fall to try and change up my training and put on mass again. I decided a few weeks ago, I'll make an attempt to try and lean bulk, Only consuming 2 carb meals a day, both following my workout and the first 2 meals of the day on off days. Went fine for 2 weeks and POW! Totally lost ALL my srtength overnight. I had gone back to 5x5, but modified. Doing the 5x5 portion followed by 1 set of 12-15 reps of a given exercise, except for back, did 3 sets of 3 different exercises for 12-15 reps. Now check it-

Last week I did 335 for 5x5 on rack deadlifts fairly easily. Today I got 345 lbs for a total of 1x1 rep. That's right, 1x1 rep. WTF? I'm kind of beside myself. I haven't the desire to get as lean as I did last summer (but stay lean overall), and didn't wanna wait till Sept to try and add size naturally. I'm just lost right now. Not sure what to do. At the moment I honestly wanna just walk away from this lifestyle as the frustration is a wicked motherfucker that eats me alive sometimes. Can anyone help me out?

exactly how much are you eating?

 

[Slyder190]

Every protein/fat meal is 50 grams protein and 15-20 grams fat. each carb/protein meal is probably about 75 grams carbs/50 grams protein. So 2 carbs meals a day....figure 2500-2700 cal a day maybe.

Are you eating a carb meal prior to working out? Do you feel rundown and tired at the gym? Raising your carb intake won't kill you, especially if the low carbs are seriously affecting your workout.
