It sounds like the classic chasing two rabbits situation is going on.

Sorry for missing that @bulldog9899. My āsizeā and āstrengthā werenāt really much to be honest. I was maybe a whole 135lbs and my best lifts were
- Bench: 145lbs x 1
- Squat: 180lbs x 5
- Deadlift: 245lbs x 1
I āfell offā at like the halfway point of the 2.5 years and the rest essentially has been me half assing it

i put it at the end of the log, didnāt want to make a seperate post
eat lots
is there like a food/nutrition thread around here? like do people commonly log their nutrition as well in their training logs?
Iām running the program 4x a week, Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday. If I feel like doing something on Wednesday, Iāll do some arms/shoulder work or some active recovery like Coach Thibs calls it or something

I also started my journey (at that point had been weight training for over a year) at 5ā9 and 120lb. My physique looked just like yours. I donāt have many pictures of me at that time but do have one.
If you have any questions about what I did or what worked for me Iām happy to help.

No probs, when i see threads like this it always reminds me of myself when I started out, i was my own worst enemy because I actually believed the bullshit I was telling myself, (āI eat 5000kcal a dayā or āIām a hard gainerā¦ā)
If you enjoy 5/3/1 I would recommend 5/3/1 for beginners, you can find this on Jimās website for free, do this program until you stall, have a deload, TM test week, then start programming Leader/Anchor cycles.
But of course you need to be eating, eat loads , thereās plenty of dietary suggestions on this site and donāt be worried of losing sight of your abs, youāll have plenty of time in the future to lose some body fat.
Good luck!
From your log you ran for 1&1/4 hours!? ā¦What is your goal for this -you want to compete in an event /cross country/Division 1 college athletics etc?
Runs like that will be diametrically opposed to making even basic levels of strength and muscle. you will maker things twice as hard for yourself, minimum.
You will have to clear up your priorities or be more balanced with your approach
Other oprtion is start eating in a style and volume that by the sounds of things you will be very uncomfortable adhering to
