Chin 2x20 (I am doing these now for the elbow protocol as I had problems before starting with it before SS)

This was my 6th SS workout so I have now completed one full round of A,B,A-B,A,B. Today was the first day anything felt heavy. The Squat had my attention, but was very manageable. The Dead Lift was the first time I noted the heaviness drastically increasing. Bench was still light.
Last week I started tracking calories with my fitness pal and I am way low. I was doing Crossfit before I decided to get stronger and I was a low carb eater. I had lost 55lbs over the last 2 years so putting on body fat is a mind twist for me after doing the exact opposite for 2 years. The problem is since I started keeping a record, I am only eating 2000 to 2500 calories a day. I want to prescribe to Jordan’s "Beast" program as I am basically the example C guy. I just can’t find a way to cram in 1500 more calories right now.
42yo, 198lbs, 5’10”

Your top weight I DL is supposed to be 5 X 1 not 5 X 3. DLs take a great out of a person.

It was just one set, that was a typo. I am currently at 250lbs 5x1. I tried to edit but can't find an edit button. I also noticed I put 12 instead of 2 on some of the dates. Just typos from a small phone screen. Thanks for the look out though. 265lb DL tomorrow!
