Per the title, after you've done SS for a few months and have added some strength, when do you "call it" so to speak? I went from 180lbs to 210lbs in 2-3 months.
Lifts are below. Squat, clean, and deadlift would be significantly higher if not for an injury I sustained 2-3 weeks ago.
Press: 135 3x5
Bench: 207.5 3x5
Deadlift: 280 1x5
Squat: 245 3x5
PC: 160 5x3
I've had minor training experience before SS with the press and bench, so they are relatively high next to the other three lifts. I'm working on that.
Is this a good time to stop gaining weight? How does one reshuffle their diet to be weight-stable but still supportive of muscle growth? Similar protein intake but fewer overall calories? Fewer carbs?
I eat 6-7 eggs + bacon for breakfast, lots of chicken or beef for lunch, a giant PB&J after work, then more chicken or beef for dinner with some veggies. Generally 1/2 GOMAD with lots of protein as well. I suppose the 1/2 GOMAD should really be the first thing to go, no?
As much as I love the strength, I've had to retire 3 nice suits because they became skin tight. My squat butt is too much for them to handle, as are my thighs. Suits are expensive.
