Default When to up the calories?

If your poundages are going up every week on every exercise but your bodyweight has stayed around the same for a few weeks or even months.
Do you....

1, Up the calories, even though your getting good strength gains

2, Wait until your poundages are no longer going up even after a good deload/reset, and then up the calories

3,other

Thanks Jonson

i would up the calories also. you can condition your muscles by working out and your poundages will go up, but if they are not growing, then you are not eating enough (usually) and you will also not be getting maximum strength gains.
