Was there an actual question anywhere in this thread?

Who knows... but when something becomes a grind and is wearing you down mentally, take a break. You might even fall in love with trap bar DLs or repping out goblet squats with the heaviest db in...

See below in Bold.

Dude take a step back. Even if your issues are psychological, there's more to life than the squat or making progress in it. You could never do a barbell squat again, and you could still have a...

For someone into math, you seem to be continuing to erroneously calculate a deficit.

You could learn a thing or two from OP.

Agree with the above poster. You're 16, have some muscular development, don't look like a slob, and don't need to be intentionally cutting or bulking.

Once you're a legit adult, have 100% stopped...

In a deficit.

Gained 20 lbs.

I'd skip legs until you get an accurate diagnosis of your injury from the MRI results. After that, assuming you don't need surgery, talk to your doctor and a physical therapist before you begin on...

See in bold below.

Dude not every 3 day split or full body is the same, nor is the person doing the lifting for each. Details matter for both the program, your effort level, and your progress.

People will tell you...

You give no objective measure of “progress” or what your lifts are, so there’s not much advice to give other than that if you still feel you’re making “progress”, then there’s no point making a...

Approximately 6 weeks.

It would be “ok” to run for the foreseeable.

If you know what you want to do and why you want to do it, there's not much point asking if it's ok. It's your body and time, so do whatever works for your goals.

In general, if what you're doing hasn't been working well for the last 4 years, then yes - you should make a change.

What program you do (or what the program is called) is less important than you...

Your general way of thinking is probably why you haven't lifted consistently for >4 weeks in over 3 years. That being said, at the weights you're likely going to be lifting to do that in 30 minutes...

All of us have had pain or injuries from weightlifting and/or sports over our lifetime. Most don't require a doctor's visit, but they do require some level of body self-awareness and understanding...

You certainly don't have to do F5 specifically, but if you're not really looking to change anything you're doing when you say you spend so much time in the gym and don't progess, it's going to be...

I drink water when I lift. For sports, I mix Pedialyte powder into my water. For longer, more competitive sports activity, I'll also eat Clif Energy Block chews throughout, which has caffeine,...
