Calorie deficit and lifting more

[dethgrind]

How tall are you? Whats your bodyfat percentage? Or waist measurement?

I wouldn't worry about stalling on the press. As long as you're consistently adding weight to the squat and deadlift, the program is working and you can continue to eat at a deficit. Once those two lifts stall, if you want to continue getting stronger, you should consider eating more.

Check out this thread, there are a couple people that just answer all Starting Strength related questions: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...1&page=117

I'm in a similar boat. I'm 'skinny fat' and want to lose fat and gain muscle without changing weight too much. I'm doing rippetoe and eating at a slight deficit, and I think I'm going to start eating more once I stall.

I am just shy of 6 feet tall. No idea on the bodyfat percentage or the waist size. My 36" jeans are starting to get big now if that gives you an idea, but I'm not sure I wear these at my exact waist either. I carry a lot of stomach fat which I understand is the last to go. Thanks for the link, I've got a lot of reading to do.

Oops, I don't recommend actually reading that entire massive thread. Do read the FAQ which is linked to at the first page of that thread. Use that thread to ask questions that aren't answered in the FAQ.
