So I decided to stop cutting...

For two reasons:

1) Because I couldn't stop eating. I am not mentally tolerant enough to stop the crap food yet and because of that I pretty much only lost like 1 lb haha.

2) Because I noticed I am just a little bit skinnier then I thought I would be. So I figure if I bulk up or at least get stronger (either 3x5 or 3x8) ill be satisfied.

But a few questions first:
- My deadlift technique is either improper or I have a weak lower back. Will that effect how much weight I could lift in a DL?
- I have tennis everyday, so will that get in the way of lifting, or should I continue, since I might play rugby in college?
- How can gradually start cutting the crap from my diet anyway? It semes hard for me because I grew up on soda and ****, and I wanna change that.

Any advice is helpful. Thanks.
 
Your 6'0 and 172 pounds; I don't think there is a reason for cutting. And your 17 so your probably still growing a little. Go ahead and bulk. Staying away from bad food is a life changing style and its very difficult; I am suffering from it myself. What I have done is to try to eat good tasting food that is still healthy. Like Almonds, Peanuts, Shrimp even. Like my diet is okay: I eat high protein and stuff but I have junk food with it. I don't depend on junk; I just have to eliminate it. If your ever wandering why your not getting stronger, more toned, or bigger then look at your diet.
 
lower back weakness will limit how much you can lift on a deadlift, yes.
Lower back pain is often a sign of bad form, but without us seeing your deadlift, we cant really tell if its bad form or not.
 
Get your form correct, that's the most important thing. How to stop cutting crap away from your diet? Well, my advice is take it slow, but don't let it be too slow. Remove things you normally would have one at a time, and it's easy. No one can make you do it. You either want to do it or you don't.
 
Thank you for the advice everyone. I will take everything into consideration and build my beach body for the summer.
