When/should I increase my calories

wallyr1

Hey guys! I’m on a lean bulk right now and my weights been stalling for two weeks now and my lifts and the gym have plateaued as well. Would it be safe to increase my calories 200+ right now? Should I weight another two weeks?

Current Stats:
6’.5inch
180lb
First year lifting
13% BF
Currently at 3,000 calories

I started at:
173lb in early March

All and any advice appreciated! Does anyone have a specific system they follow in regards to increasing calories while bulking?
Thanks!

I increase about 200 cals after I've been stuck aru the same weight for two weeks. FTR, I'm a 5'5", 140 lb female (18% bf) and I bulked on 2700 cals.

Yes. increase 200-300 wait two weeks. rinse and repeat as needed. 7 pounds since March is about right pace but I'm surprised your not needing 4k+ at 6 foot 5. anywho.. right track
