Diet I'm for when the pros outweigh the cons. Surgery I'm for when the pros outweigh the cons.

My younger years I played QB, TE, H-back, MLB, DE, SS, K I played professionally as a TE.

If you gain 6lbs over the last 2 months. I would continue consuming the same caloric intake. I hazard your calories are higher than you think but It doesn't matter one bit what you think you are eating if you are gaining at that rate. I surely wouldn't eat much more at this point. Not knowing your training history I'm not…

I've retired from the construction industry and as a professional sports athlete as well. Currently I train people IRL/online, though I have other hobbies(art) that suppliment income. Best part? improving the quality of life of the individual. Worse part? Being part of the fitness industry that is a business first. Seeing…

It's a gym. I personally wear loose gym gear because I'm prefer it overall. Also it governs the woman who don't behave appropriately. I'm not "offering" myself when I'm training.

Sounds perfect. Of course not typical. I wish mine would do away with them or at least take a few out at the squat rack or deadlift platforms.
-
Depends. On what you consider to small. About a pound a month gain if you had your calories dialed in absolutely perfectly(near impossible). I mean, yeah you could and see how you respond. Personally, I wouldn't unless I decided to bulk starting at a higher by percentage. Which at my age/weight I'm not prone to do…

Just unload weight, lower barbell, begin warm up with appropriate weight.
-
What kind though? Plenty of evidence showing benefits of non parallel squats or leg presses for certain sports. I believe the study was based on 120 degree of knee flexion if I remember correctly.

While I agree lifting 1rm outside of a competition isnt useful. Some of my training involves lifts that are 92% for singles or 81% for 5s are barely moving and can be very useful towards my goals. Just because the barbell is slow or fast doesnt equate proper intensity. "Form" is non existent. There isn't a definition that…

Rowing machine would be a decent choice. Cycling, assault bike, are also good. It really depends on what equipment ypu have available.
-
Because SL is only mainly useful for a person who is a beginner or somebody who has stopped lifting for a significant time. SL has virtually no auto regulation and even worse zero proper load management which increases injury risk once you start "grinding". Best to stop and move on to appropriate programming before any…

Brushing teeth or trimming beard otherwise I rather spend my time doing anything else.

If you're losing weight over a few weeks than your caloric intake is low. If your goal is to gain, then add a couple hundred calories to your daily intake. After a 2-3 weeks if you still aren't gaining add more calories again. Once you are trending with a slow weight gain, hold the caloric intake until your weight stalls…

No . I use auto regulation so my intensities are governed by what is appropriate for that session. My gym doesn't really have ego lifters and is well equipped. Those who might have tendencies towards inappropriate intensities pick the brains of one of bull's of the gym.
-
Doesn't sound very useful compared to RPE, RIR, or VBT type of auto regulation in the least. A greater ROM doesnt necessarily equate a better readiness to perform a specific lift, intensity, or volume.

I've seen a low-stress weeks inserted in the middle to near end of techniquely long blocks 8-12 weeks and it allows to bump intensity with either percentage or RPE style programming for specificity to lifters prepping for a meet or just handling higher intensity for a few exposures at the end of a block. I believe the OP…

Forgive me if I scanned this post. 1. If I understand you have run 10k a few times. 2.. You attempted fartlek with some resistance. 3. You want to improve your 10k times. 4. Your also doing a boot camp style train. 5. You swamp out runs for other forms of cardio. 6. All of this in a four month time. Correct? What…
-
Just lower on the rung of majors in general. OP, personally I don't sweat it for the most part. My caloric intake is high enough along with my diet that my macros fall easily into place. I don't use % as a guideline because that just skews the goal when we add exercise calories into the mix. For fat loss I will bump…

The idea of "bad form" is a myth. Form cannot be defined universally therefore doesn't exist. This idea is one of the most single harmful things a person can say to another lifter. It literally can cause a nocebo effect. There isn't any creditable evidence a person will experience an injury from a movement outside of a…

If you are untrained, you will experience a sensitive response to training from a fairly small dose. Doing more training will not achieve "faster" results. Meaning you don't have to perform many lifts or head to the gym every day to resistance train. When considering we hopefully will be enjoying the benefits for a…

No.
-
It's dependent on the individual, her/his goal, training history, time constraints,load management, etc.. Perhaps you can post more info since this is a individual thing but in general... A fat loss goal doesn't require cardio. That is obtained from a caloric deficit, so I wouldn't base a decision of when on that idea if…
-
1. Depends on many variables. 2. Depends on how sensitive you are to stimulus and your programming. I think you are at a good starting point. 3. Short & long term data Plenty of experience and in a few years I'll be focusing on people of advanced age primarily. It works the same as any training any age. Sufficient stimulus…

1. I'd disagree unless the person was untrained. I was trainging 2 hours 4 session a week before work. Now keep in mind that is the stimulus my body needed to develop a strength adaptation. I never had any problems in my mid 40s and that was dealing with pain and swelling of a jount disease while busting my hump at work. I…

Yep. Just find what you can perform with the goal of returning to main lift(s). Once you have your mind working with self efficacy and you recognize that progress of rehab can be many things. Don't force anything but if the movement, load, volume is there...we take what is beneficial towards our goal. Sometimes squats are…

Your welcome. Good luck and report back how things are going 😊

I would train normally with what you can do with appropriate intensity where you have some challenge but you feel comfortable. So if you notice sharp pain creeping in at a certain intensity, work slightly lower. This might take a bit more warm up. So with squats you might do air squats, and extra set or two of lower…
