Whichever you personally prefer and feels the best for you in sessions and recovery

For me I like to execute calmly. But there’s still internal aggression within that. Controlled chaos really. If I’m getting outwardly worked up, that’s going to cause unnecessary expenditure. I just bring the same intentional effort consistently to every session.

I think the question is more so do you need it? Are you drinking it because it brings you joy, drinking just out of habit, is it causing digestion distress, elevated hr. Etc
Probably isn’t bad for you; but I just don’t partake in things that don’t bring some sort of intentional purpose (that’s just my own personal choice)

Push in which way? Down more for condition, or up into surplus?

All of these are great questions
Ultimately it comes down to experience level

1 – knowing what muscular failure is, and how to get the most out of every rep, and going to the level of exertion that is beneficial for your improvement, and not detrimental to your recovery. I advise training to failure within the confinements of form staying in tact

2 – volume depends on recovery, if you are recovering well, and feel you need more emphasis in an area, add volume to said area and see how you continue to progress and recover

3 – I personally always like top set back off set approach for the most part

Control, training the muscle and not the movement, making every rep intentional and hard on the muscle

Stevia is what I recommend

Ultimately you just have to start somewhere and try it and see

Try hiit 2-3 times a week and see how it impacts you, if training performance stays good and doesn’t feel negatively impacted then you are good to go, if it hinders your recovery, then just stick to a steady state form of cardio

There’s a level of normalcy for sure just from size alone, training stress, etc
BUT
How’s your blood pressure? Are you using stims? Doing any cardio? How’s sleep?

Experience is the best teacher.
What failure looks like now to me after 12 years of training is a lot different than what it looked like before. Every year I reach new levels of stimulus and connection.

Right now your intent is most important and going to your level of failure where you can’t move the weight, overtime you’ll adapt the ability to use the muscle even more and know what true muscular failure is

There’s no rules. Just based on the person, what they’re currently doing, and their individual response. You learn this by trial. Take your current amount and try increasing by 25% and see the response, if you see positives great, if you see nothing then you know it wasn’t enough and you add more, same goes for if you see negative then you know it was too much and next time you do less

If you’re in a surplus you’re in a surplus. If I eat pizza at 3 am or 3 pm I’m still gonna get fat from it lol

I can’t see any pics. You have to use the range of motion that fits your biomechanics. The comfortable depth that doesn’t see your low back rounding, and you’re still keeping quads engaged throughout. As you advance, you’ll be able to train yourself into better ranges of motion

Starting out I’d expect 2-4lbs per week, and if training is still going well then I’d just continue that trend on for as long as you can without negative return. If that starts to happen then 1-2 lbs per week would be good
