Then lunches include grilled chicken with wheat pasta and green peppers. And later in the day consists of grilled chicken or boca burgers, with cottage cheese, peanuts, veggies and maybe a wheat pita. How does that sound? Plenty of water, no pop and very, very, little sugar.
Also, what are giant sets. I do a lot of drop sets, those are great. During week 4, instead of cardio stuff ( I have a knee problem right now), could I incorporate lifting weights with resistance bands attached? Then during the 5th week start over again with 6-8 reps? Sorry for the long response.

Yes, the change in reps goes will all the different exercises mentioned. Make sure you try drop sets, supersets, giant sets, negatives etc. This program will never let your body adapt to the stress you put on it and will continue to grow.
Cross-training refers to doing something you haven't done before cardiovascularly. Ie. Try a new sport every four weeks, it should challenge your nervous system and help keep exercising fun.
We would love to hear your progress. Are you also following the 6 steps to nutrition?
