I’ve dialed in my calories the entire year, 5500/day, 300g protein, 700g carbs, and the rest fat.

We all know water intake is key, when I fall off, I deflate and lose several lbs immediately.

I’m lifting heavy, doing long workouts 2-3hrs, largely 5x5 or 6x6 sets every other day.

I’m up to 256 as of now, which puts my goal of 260 well within striking distance.

Have you thought of increasing your volume a little? If you're training to gain mass more than training to gain strength, 5x5/6x6 could be a little light on volume?

Also, are you really eating 5,500 cals/day? My BMR at 6'4" and 240 is about 3500/day.
