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.
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...
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.
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,...
Your entire description of what you do is full of "maybe", "like", and "usually". You say you're fairly satisfied with where you're at but that you're also extremely fatigued.
As I mentioned above, I suggest you try another fitness hobby. Right now you’re just spending a lot of time for no gain, unable to comprehend basic concepts about lifting and nutrition no matter how...
Dude you’ve looked at 100s of calculators. Eat anywhere in that range (or even under it) for progress. Those are giving you what they believe are the “optimal” amount for muscle growth, which is much...
Well you’re kind of like talking to a brick wall. And it’s not about working “so hard” although that’s a very subjective way to measure what you’re doing.
There's no "right" calories except the amount that accomplishes your goal of whether you're trying to gain, lose or maintain weight - and if you've been working out...
You don't want to eat a sustainable smaller daily amount of food than you currently eat because something that takes 2 years to accomplish isn't "realistic".
