Thinking ahead toward strength stall

At some point I am going to stall out on strength gains, because I am lifting at a deficit. Currently my deficit is 2500-3500 weekly. I know that at some point I just will not be able to keep adding weight at the deficit.

I'm sure it is different for everyone, but has anyone here hit that wall, and where was it for you?

    Honestly, I don't stick to a deficit long enough to cause any long stall out on weights. I did stall out because doing 5x5 was just too much around bodyweight for squats (took about 3 or 4 months). I switched to 3x5 and managed to get up to 185 lbs for squats. I switched over to wendlers 5/3/1 just for something different a couple of months ago and that has helped me break through my last plateau for lifts.
