Default Strength-building phase?

Hi, all. I had joined Golds in Nov. of last year, but that was when I thought that you should do body-part-specific exercises exclusively, and had a much more lenient 3 meals/day diet. In January, I got serious about building. Since then, I have been eating 6 meals a day, each usually being about 560 cals, and made up of as few processed foods as possible. I am adamant about taking mixing an electrolyte/malto packet into my water bottle for every workout, and having complex carbs and a scoop of PP for pwo. I also sleep at least 7 hrs a night, but I strive for 8. I have noticed strength gains, but not too much in terms of size increase. The question is; When you guys (and gals) went from your normal body type, and began hypertrophying, how was your growth process?
Thanks in advance,

-John
