Since last October I have been on a 'bulk' as I want to get a nice amount of muscle mass on while ideally limitting the amount of fat gain.
I have been tracking my weight on the same day each week after the toilet and before drink and food and the measurements are as follows:
12/10/18: 147.6lbs
18/10/18: 146.6lbs
26/10/18: 147.6lbs
02/11/18: 147.6lbs
09/11/18: 149.2lbs
16/11/18: 149.8lbs
01/12/18: 150.lbs
08/12/18: 149.6lbs
15/12/18: 148.7lbs
02/01/19: 153.8lbs
08/01/19: 154.4lbs
19/01/19: 153.4lbs
02/02/19: 153.4lbs
12/02/19: 152.6lbs
23/02/19: 155lbs
02/03/19: 154.6lbs
09/03/19: 156lbs
16/03/19: 154.2lbs
23/03/19: 154.6lbs
30/03/19: 157lbs
06/04/19: 155.4lbs
It's clear my weight has been increasing but it's not been consistent. Some weeks it will jump up substantially then the next week dip again. I'm finding it hard to know when to adjust calories etc.
I feel like I'm spinning my wheels with my lifts in the gym as one day I will go in and I've managed the increase in weight and reps and the next time I go to do the lift I don't and I have to deload and start again. I also feel like the weight I'm lifting sometimes is too much and my form suffers because of it.
Overall is this a sign I am consuming not enough calories or could other factors be involved? I have worked out my TDEE and calculated the deficit and macros as required so I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I am really keen to start making some real progress as I have lifted for a few years now and feel like I'm still stuck in the same place! I'm definitely not the skinniest guy in the gym and I do look toned to an extent but on my build I still look puny.
