at some point you are going to have to eat more to get the lifts to go up. and yes volume will work, but i would be mindful of adding too much volume at one time. I would either pick the lower body lifts to add volume to or the 2 main upper body lifts. Would add any more volume to the pushing upper body accessories. if you want to add volume on accessory do it in the pulling motion.

Alright, calories should be pretty high now. I weighed 74.0 kg 3 weeks ago (increased calories 3300 > 3600 then) and weight has fluctuated between 74.0 - 75.1 kg since then. Was expecting more/faster weight gain but gotta wait and see if it starts going up. My accessories don't have a lot of pulling now, doing DB bench/DB bicep curl on one day and Yates row/tricep cable extension on the other. Probably switching some of them soon...

are you doing the bodyweight homework? aka the frequency pushups and the chins?

No, I did homework until August/September but stopped completely in October. Just did one chin up now and elbows started hurting immediately...

also for reference, on deloads, i suggest you removing enough weight where you are in the 15 rep range on the + set. on the first 2x5 sets....practice a very slow eccentric, pausing at the bottom and firing up out the hole with as much speed as possible. for example on bench you should almost come off the bench you are pushing so fast.

I have strictly removed 10 % of weights every reset, + sets have been like 10 reps or lower. So I think volume has been a bit low, resetting to lower weight and adding some volume work should be good.
