My white bread comes out fine but my whole meal will not rise, here's my
recipe
500 grams strong flour

Wholemeal flour is more difficult to get a good rise going because of the bran content. There are several ways to help this. 1 use and overnight first prove in the fridge, use the 'sponge' method (where you use 50% of the flour and all the liquid leave to rise til bubbly then add the rest of the flour and prove) or use a 50/50 mix of wholemeal and strong white flour. I've been having a lot of trouble lately with my bread. Can't seem to get the proving right either. Normally I have no problem.
Also try using a bit more water as the bran will absorb quite a bit.

Also try using a more water as the bran will absorb quite a bit a wetter dough is your friend here, don't over knead it and let it rise for longer. HTH
