11 training sessions per week sounds like a lot. What exactly do your weight training sessions look like?
I’d scale back the cardio to an “easy” 15-20 minutes two or three days a week, immediately after your weights instead of as their own training session. That way, you only have one workout to recover from, and one opportunity to burn calories.
In the last two months, how has your bodyweight changed?
The answer to this question will direct any changes that may, or may not, need to be put in place.

What exactly is in the “periworkout shake” and just to clarify, are you having it during your session or after?
When you’re trying to gain size, your body needs those carbs and protein during the session. If you haven’t yet, check out what Thibaudeau’s been up to with maximizing workout nutrition.

Also, is there any reason you’re on such a low carb diet? When you’re after size, you don’t shouldn’t be scared of carbs, as long as your workouts are intense (which they should be). You’re only really eating carbs the first half of the day, which is what many people do when they’re trying to burn fat.
