Strength increases but little hypertrophy?
I wasn't sure where to post this, and most of my mates hang around the diet section, so I hope nobody minds!
I've been comparing pics of me from last year to current, and being as honest and objective about myself as possible, I really do not see much of a change. Overall mass has increased a bit, but there is nothing popping out that wasn't there last year. I feel like I still have the look of a guy who's been working out for 6 months, meanwhile it's going on 2 years.
Now, strength is another story. All lifts have increased substantially. Little over a year ago I couldn't do 1 pull up without weight assistance, now I can rep out 8 with a 45lb plate hanging from my waist. Yet, lats show no visible signs of growth.
I used to dumbell shoulder press 45's, i'm now using 75's, yet shoulders look almost identical to last year.
I'm just wondering if this info reveals something specific that i'm doing which would cause strength increases, but very little hypertrophy. I would like to correct it ASAP, because to be honest I don't care if i'm the weakest guy in the guy, i'm in this to get the body I want.
Let me know what you think, i'm out of options and don't know what else to do!
