    5’11 240 lbs at 19.8% body fat and 38 yrs old.
    My pronouns are Hairy. Man.
    Lifts are
    Squat 405x1(stalling)
    Deadlift 500x1(progressing)
    Press 220x1(progressing)
    Bench 325x1(stalling)

    My question is, should I continue to push my body weight to around 260-270 or is my body fat getting to high in relation to my training numbers(another words maintain body weight and try to drive training numbers up)?

    Yes I know this has been asked a 1000 times before and I’m just curious about my particular case. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Why would your particular case be different?
