If your strength is increasing, you're getting bigger. In your situation, having been lifting for a while, you can't get stronger without having your muscles grow. You might not notice it, and you might not even gain weight...you could have dropped a couple of lbs of fat and replaced it with muscle. Genetics do have something to do with it, but not a lot. When I was 16 years old, I weighed 130...benched 200, squatted 285, power cleaned 175... But now my weight is up to 170 and I'm a lot bigger (at age 21). I heard the genetics thing too. If you have a good workout routine and you give your body the fuel it needs to grow, then you can get huge. I have put on 25lbs since this summer, so.... Most of this extra size has been very recent. Your squats and deads should be going up like crazy if you have a good workout routine. What are your 1RMs now in those lifts?
