Optimizing eating for SS progression
Hi RIP,
I'm 39 and I train for baseball which I do at the recreational level once a week. Being relatively small at 5'8" and typically around 155-160 lbs, I've always had decent power as a hitter. This off-season I wanted to add some weight and strength back to hit the ball a little farther. I've never been much of an eater but it's been about 5 months now eating between 2800-3500 calories a day depending on my physical activity and I'm now at 184 lbs. I count calories but I don't worry too much about balancing macro ratios (usually ends up being around 33% pro, fat, carbs). I drink a lot of whole milk and use whey to supplement calories. In that time, I completed a Stack.com baseball specific 16 week program, now I'm on SS:bbt and plan on staying with it as long as I can. I'm 2 weeks in and am doing fine thus far with a 5lb per session increase. The last 6 workouts have wiped me out and I'm getting about 8-9 hours of sleep.
Squat 210
Deadlift 260
Press 95
Bench 160
My question pertains to my age group and the fact that I don't want to get too heavy over where I am now though I understand needing to eat enough to grow and make each session progression. What would you recommend I do as far as my calorie intake goes from this point to make sure I don't have any stalls but also stay at a relatively good weight so that I don't have to purchase a completely new wardrobe?
