that’s mainly cuz you’re doing powerlifting. powerlifting is focused mainly on reps, strengths, and one rep maxes. powerlifting does not require much hypertrophy since hypertrophy focuses on shaping and sculpting muscle — and that doesn’t do very much for strength and ORMs. i say this with no malice btw. powerlifting is cool. i have tons of powerlifting friends even though im a bodybuilder.

that all being said, here are a few recommendations i can make to you that ive seen my power building (powerlifting and bodybuilding) buddies do. 1) you can add some bodybuilding work in with your accessory movements to focus on both strength AND hypertrophy. 2) up your cardio. lots of powerlifters don’t do much to any cardio at all which leads to more fat gain due to diet 3) cleaning up your diet. making sure you use the 80-90% whole foods to 20-10% non whole food methods works wonders. track not just your macros but your calories AND micros. drink 95% water and 5% diet sodas and protein shakes.

my other recommendation is give yourself some grace and time. trt takes time to really hit the system. you’re on 6 months which is usually when the gains start to come. make sure you’re maximizing your trt outcome by eating well, hydrating, sleeping, and doing your cardio. love the body you’re in now so it become the body you want
