2.) I feel like I could try to do the weights it suggests but I feel my form isn't great but then is it just between not having good form and also just constantly deloading?
3.) Wow there are so many sets for warmups! Do most people do all of these to make sure they are ready to lift?
4.) I have a strong urge to save time so I want to do a deadlift warm up during my recovery time for bench pressing, how wrong is that? Or is that okay?
5.) Is 120s the best rest time and I should just not do anything during that rest time?
6.) Overhead presses feel super heavy for me with the 45 bar, any suggestions?
Hoping this is a friendly community, sorry if these are dumb questions.
