If you only doing home workouts then you need to do double or triple the reps.

Your DB-only workout is probably sufficient enough to induce hypertrophy.

Be prepared to stay small until you have real gym equipment available.

How much you eating?

Almost as much as you, little brother.

Yes it can depending on how bad your stressing, I would guess that's not it though. Your 3 major factors for hypertrophy are Progressive overload (getting stronger overtime with increased weight, reps, or frequency) , caloric surplus, and sleep.

First post already said since you cant go heavier you have to do more reps. Just keep going higher on sets and reps over time if you don't have a gym.
