My weight progression since I started the program has been quite massive. I am now at around 86kg BW which is around 190lbs. I don't mind the BW, I am mostly concerned when I'm just getting fat which the last 2 months seems to be the case. I've added quite a bit to my waist. I'm not at the point where I add weight to the bar every session, but rather weekly, so I'm thinking if perhaps a slight caloric deficit can still sustain strength gains, as I do prefer not to be too fat, and have relatively good conditioning (not have my heart rate skyrocket when doing pretty trivial things). We'll see.

Seems you've been having an issue with your triceps for a while now. I would consider backing off on the direct triceps work to let things heal. LTEs can be very stressful on their own, and even chins work the triceps in shoulder extension. Overall this looks like a recipe for triceps tendonitis. Gotta stay healthy to keep lifting big numbers. Of course maybe I'm missing something here.
