Hey Jordan,
I'm a little less than a month into SS. Love it, and I'm seeing some excellent improvement in my weight and my lift numbers (squat 145, bench 95, ohp 75, dl 175) (all are working sets). I am currently 6'0, 139lbs., 18 male (started at 127)
I have a question on the calorie recommendations for the program. I've determined by watching the scale that my TDEE is right around 2500. Most days I eat 3500-4000 calories, which works out to about 2-3 lbs. gained a week. No problem there. However, on some of my busier days, especially weekends, I end up eating closer to 3000, which is only 500 above TDEE. If I eat in the 3000 range 2 or 3 days a week, will it be a huge problem?
Overall, is my intake still too low for someone of my size? (obviously trying to gain weight) Is a slower bulk like this considered YNDTP? If I am still seeing weight gain and linear progression, is it okay to continue at this intake level?
Thanks,
Josh
