new guy

[baseballedge]

I've been looking to move past my plateau. I've been reading a lot of the posts today and it's all a little overwhelming. Rest assured that I am not asking for sources but just trying to figure out if this is even the best thing for me as an athlete.
I am not a bodybuilder nor am I a professional athlete. But I love to compete in sporting activities. I've always felt as though I could improve myself but lately it seems that my strength and speed have not progressed despite my continued efforts. I know I still have an edge on the guys I compete with but my own pride isn't handling this leveling out.
Needless to say I am not looking to bulk up as much as I am looking to gain strength. I certainly don't mind gaining some pounds but I've been seeing this Winstrol? come up and the results people talk about are similar to what I'm looking for - maybe?! That's why I need some help from experts.
If there is anyone who can testify for a method that enhanced athletic performance I would be curious to hear from them.
Thanks.

What's your current diet and training program look like?

diet and routine

As far as my diet goes, I've been keeping in the range of 2000-2500 cals. per day. Anything more than that for a significant amount of time I begin to gain weight and notice it around my mid-section. That's when I start losing a little quickness and I realize it's my food intake. I haven't kept track of anything but calories. Again, maybe you all can give me suggestions on what to concentrate in as far as my diet goes.
I workout 6-7 days a week. It's usually 6 days with Sunday off. I do weight training every morning for about 45 minutes. I do cardio after work for an hour or longer (unless I'm playing hoops or rugby).
I'm sitting at 5'10 180 and it's been there for about 6 months to a year. I'm really not sure on my speed because I haven't timed myself but I can tell I'm just not moving as quick. My single rep bench press has been 310-315 for the last six months. Squats - I'm not sure because I've never maxed but my works have been about 220 for about 10 months.
I'm not sure if I covered everything you wanted but if you want any other info let me know.
