Are you both at the same training level? Have you been working out for the same total amount of time? Do you lift the exact same weight? Do you accelerate the bar at the same rate? Do you rest/sleep the same amount? Do you have the same level of activity outside the gym? Are you both lifting at the same intensity? etc etc. ad nauseum

You're trying to get the exact same training effect between two people, and there are about a million variables that could explain it. Like Talo said, everyone's different.

Aside from those, diet is the main cause of not growing (like the others pointed out).

Your workout is far from ideal, to be honest. The stickies will help with that as well as the diet, like the other mentioned.

You say you've gained 11lbs of muscle while losing 9lbs of fat. How do you know this and what has your brother done in comparison? If you stepped on a scale it would say that you gained 2lbs in 4 months...That in itself doesn't seem like good progress with the rep scheme you've chosen ("mass" based). Maybe all your brother sees is a 2lb change in 4 months and thinks he's not gaining.
