This is only approximate but seems to be about right.

If you were eating 10-15% above maintenance previously and gaining around .5-.75lb a week, would you maintain this surplus or reduce it in half to 5-10% over maintenance, or all the way down to maintenance perhaps? It's hard to believe that by day 10 of the deload, you'd still be building muscle with the surplus...but maybe I'm wrong! Thanks!
