    Robert, I am now entering the 4th week of NLP(After the cut) weighing 121KG and my height is:176 cm.
    The lift are(all in kilograms):
    Squat:130 3x5
    Deadlift: 142.5 1x5
    Bench: 63.75 3x5
    Press: 45 3x5
    Power clean: 42.5 5x3 (learning the technique again)
    chin ups( adding those probebly 2 weeks from now cause I am at the phase 2 of the program).
    I am eating now 3200 calories and added the light day in the middle of the week session for the squats. Should i up my caloires to say 3500-3600 and get the body weight somewhere between 125-130 KG?
    Or should i stay with my daily intake for now?

    I don't see why you should weigh 125-130 kg with your lifts there. What is your goal?

    Finish the LP and then doing the Texsas method. So for now its better to stay with the caloric inatke i mentioned (3200 calories a day)?

    I think 120 kg is more than just fine for your purposes.

    I am now at week 9 of NLP, and I PRd my squat (152.5x5). I added back off sets, but they are seriously hard right now. I ate whole pizza the night before and felt preety strong but after the back off sets I feel spent phisically.
    I am still weighing 120 kg (being on nutral state of calories and setting PRs was fun), but i think that is the end of LP. For a guy like me, is there appropriate to switch to weekly increasing in load right now?
    The other lifts continue to improve, so maybe i think i will add in the "one on two off" schcedule and maybe set another PR or two.
