After 8 PAGES of responses with people giving you advice (many of them repeating what they have told you time after time), THIS is your only takeaway??
You are extremely obtuse.

Squats are uncomfortable, so I'm going to skip them. (I tore my ACL and MCL, plus I broke my pelvis, I still squat)
Dieting is uncomfortable, so I'm skipping that too.0 -

Do you log your lifting progression? What does that aspect look like?
The app lays out the program and numbers for you. I do fine for a while then plateau. Same with 5x5. I usually just lower the weight down and start lower and work up, repeat, etc.
Yes, I'm aware of 5/3/1 and it's progression scheme as well as 5x5. I mean, what do your numbers look like since you started to where they are now. Is there actual progression, is there regression, are you increasing performance, are you spinning your wheels, etc.
I've progressed since switching back to 5/3/1 and haven't plateaued with again yet. My numbers aren't the highest they've ever been. Frankly they were much higher when I was eating and gaining to 250 (not on purpose) before I began dieting.
You didn't answer the question. You skirted right on around it.0 -

So, are you switching back and forth between 5x5 and 5/3/1 or something?0 -

I'm having trouble keeping one heel on the floor when I squat or DL. It's like it just doesn't want to stay down. It's a new thing though. I used to be able to. It does hurt a little but I don't recall injuring it. I have psoriatic arthritis too. Anybody got any tips for that? I'll listen
I would suggest making a separate post for this, in the Fitness & Exercise section.
I was being a little bit cheeky

I didn't? LOL. I just said I skipped the squat day. That's not complaining. It's just making a statement.
That was in reply to me stating that I broke my pelvis and I still squat.0 -

Look into trying box squats, and getting some PT for the leg. There shouldn't be a reason you don't have full range of motion.
Had been going to a PT for three plus years. Thought I could start on my own but now I'm remembering all the reasons I went in the first place! Anyhow I was being a little obnoxious. But yes, just ran through the motions with no weight. Back to basics I think until it behaves again.

Nah, there are tons of people on here who have overcome lots of things. We realize that a bit of discomfort now and then leads to results.0 -
