am i lifting right?
hmmm well my diet is good high claories low carbs and high protien so i know i must be eating right ( in bulking off season ) its my first time competing this year and january will be my first show.
when i lift the wieght starts to feel lighter and ill go up in my lifts and still gain absoultley nothing but i know im getting stronger and i still seem to be cutting when im trying to bulk. i find that really wierd not to bulk and just get more definition. i lift 5 days a week and on to ,uscle groups blah blah blah is there something im doing wrong? should i be lifting even more then i am now?

when most people try to bulk up they increase their carb intake so maybe instead of low carb go high carb and high calorie to gain weight and when it comes time for a show slowly decrease your carbs and calories until your body fat is around 4-5 % .
As for lifting to get bigger go for pretty heavy weight enough weight to fail around 6 reps.

Carbs fuel and give your muscles energy needed to push the heavy weight when your bulking
