Program Help Please! (StartingStrength, StrongLifts, and MadCow)

Ok, depending on what everyone else says on around here, I will try to eat more. I already have my calories set on livestrong to gain .5lbs a week without including my workouts. and how much should I be gaining? I do understand that overeating doesnt always go on as muscle but some as fat as well, I wont mind cutting later on, but thats why I am only at .5lbs a week increase. And what should i do for my last 1.5 weeks of unbalanced sleep and complete controlled diet?

Is your surplus at about 500 or so?

Stay on SS, don't deload or do anything else silly. Eat more. It's good that you've gone from 127 to 153, but you have to keep gaining weight if you want SS to work.

Can't believe you called deloading silly

I would call you dead lifts 5X1 if you need that long of a rest. Maybe slightly lower the weight? Yeah, you should change it up and experiment to see which gives you the best gains.

No, my surplus is somewhat around 300 calories, if I calculated livestrong right, at .5lbs a week, I think it works out to 300.

What would I do with this variation? Would it help me break this plateau?

Should I consider deloading? I am not sure how the percents work and all that.

Ok, I see what works on the deadlifts then, Ill look at the 200-230 range. Also what could I change?

Not if you've already done it recently.
Eat more, correct that form, try adding accessory exercises.

OH FORM! Haha, I almost forgot about that, I believe I am straying on the form and should probably take a rest day to load up some light weights and examine that... and can you name some accessory exercises? I dont know what those are? I was also reading that other post, I think the rows may not be a bad idea, because I found them in MadCow's program as well, could anyone please describe whats best? Front or back hand grip on the bar when doing those? I also dont really know how to do those correctly either, there seems to be many "correct" variations on youtube, and as a total NEWB to rowing, i am confused on that.
