If you haven't grew enough, you aren't eating enough. You have to stuff those calories down your throat before you can even think about growing. . .

As far as "cutting exercises" go, there's no such thing. Cutting is something done in the kitchen, and if you cut now you're most likely going to be smaller than you where before you even started bulking, as 4 lbs. will slice very quickly.

A lot of people add more isolation exercises into their routines though, during a cutting phase. They feel it increases the intensity of your workout. I personally feel that it's all done in the kitchen. Cardio is something out you need to be getting used to, running and jogging and such to help burn the fat that you added while bulking.

Eat around 5-6 times per day, but eat small meals. As far as as WHEY protein goes it won't hurt you to drink that. Since you won't be eating as much it's fine to get in a few extra grams of protein and such from WHEY.
