Do you have any particular strength goals, or does "as strong as possible while staying under 185" mean you just want to plateau your lifts at 185 body weight?
At 6'1" 185 is light is what I'm saying so depending on your genetics or if you plan to use PEDs then you may see pretty modest gains staying at that weight. You're the same height as I am and 185 is how much I weighed when I first started lifting seriously and I couldn't imagine having the numbers I have now if I was still that weight.
Also, are you following a particular program?
