Start with 500 cals above maintenance (like your plan). If you haven't gained anything by the end of the second week, up it to 1,000 cals. From here adjust as necessary.

Keep in mind that as your weight goes up, so does your maintenance # of calories. So a common mistake is to revert back to a maintenance diet post cycle but using the pre cycle calculation. That's a sure fire way to loose all your gains.

Personally, i would eat 1,000 above maintenance, recalculate new maintenance every week based on gains, then keep your total cals 1,000 above maintenance throughout the entire cycle and PCT. Only then, consider moving back down to maintenance (your new maintenance)
