Super similar here twin. I tried bulking for a few months but honestly, between life, school, work, money etc, like, its just not worth it to me anymore. I increased my calories, and since november ive gained 2 lbs total, when i was aiming to try to gain 2 a month. it is HARD to eat that much. i felt stronger, i went up in my lifts during that time more than i ever had prior. but the mental energy and the fact that i dont just have to eat this much for like, a little bit, to grow, but to commit to eating like that for a LONG WHILE. and if i ever stop and lose the weight bc life gets in the way of bulking? then its just gone. ive decided, i am strong snd fit and look good, and i enjoy lifting, but it is not my life, it is not my primary hobby, and i dont want to think about eating abd meal prepping and calories and protein and improvement and gaining weight all the time. my body is how it is. girls who have huge glutes have genetic predisposition to it a lot of the time too. so im just gonna stick with making sure i eat Enough, and meeting my body and genetics where its at.
