I usually stop when I double my strength on 1-rep max-lift amounts. Takes about 2-months in the winter. I tried 2.5x one year but I started adding too much bulk.
Hmmm I believe I've increased my weight lifting by around 40% so, body fat according to the tanita scale (I know it's nt extremely accurate) in athlete mode has me going from 8-10% consistently down to 6-8%. Made no other measurements but like I said I'm bulking up a little in the upper body.
