good training numbers..........
hello, a little back story before I start. I am a 30 year old mother of 3 I’ve worked out for years doing all different forms of exercise, but I never really monitored what I ate I just ate whatever I felt like eating. After my last baby (a year ago) I really started focusing on my diet along with training.
I have been bulking the last 3 months I started at 142.2lbs 21% body fat and I am now at 152.3 lbs and 28.8% body fat (I’m not sure how accurate my scale is because I don’t feel like my bf is that high)
But I am kind of stuck if I should continue to bulk or if I should just start to cut. The pictures below are the start of my bulk and now. I honestly don’t see much of a difference.

Diet: I currently eat 2,500 calories a day
Protein between 130-150 g a day
Workout: Monday: shoulders/chest/tris
Tuesday: legs/glutes
Wednesday: back/biceps
Thursday: HIIT/abs
Friday: legs/glutes
Sometimes my workout days switch and some weeks I hit 3 leg/ glutes day

It has been along time since I’ve been on here about a year and a half. After this i did go through a cut which was pretty successful and in July I started another bulk I’ll attach a picture of my after cut and me currently. I feel like I am not getting the gains I want. I will also attach my workout plan/ my measurements before and after. I’ll take any advice or tweaks I should make to my programs. Just. Reminder I’m 100% natural. On the left (where I look tanner lol) is me currently and me on the right is after my bulk which is crazy because I feel like I look smaller on the right even though I’m up about 10 pounds between these. I’m a bit discouraged because I don’t feel like my body changed much at all. Through these 2 years.hello, a little back story before I start.

@Xolacee you are certainly putting in some good training for conditioning. but what gains are you looking for exactly? as a natty lifter you can only go so far.It has been along time since I’ve been on here about a year and a half.
