    Almost everyone is magnesium deficient so would be useful. I think the margins would be pretty shit though and high doses act as a laxative... not the best incentive to keep chugging.

    You will gain weight (muscle) as a result of progressively overloading (doing more weight and/or reps than last time) your workouts (the workouts I give will get you 95% there) plus adequate protein (g/lb of goal weight) plus at least maintenance calories if you are a beginner (find a calculator...

    No prob. Happy to help. Liver issues are another thing that can play with SHBG, so you might have your answer there.

    I would take a guess your SHBG is high? Your test is likely bound up. Endo's are obsessed with total levels (764 in your case) but the free T is what's active in the body and what really matters. You could try boron 9mg a day to lower the SHBG if indeed it is high. Other causes could be...

    No equipment workouts aren't my expertise. The bands will be limiting for real progress (because you will get stronger you constantly need to make it harder for yourself). I would focus on pushups, pullups and lunges, adding weight where you can. Bands will be OK for side raises, rear delt flys...

    Use what you have for the rear delt work. Whichever you prefer is fine, the difference is minimal. For rest 2-3 mins has been shown for best results. Some people like shorter rests though. Up to you, won't make that much difference in the grand scheme as long as its above 90 seconds or so.

    I agree with your list minus sumo if I'm being picky... Like you mention the hip hinging and squat patterns are natural patterns for us. My point is that "neurological, physiological and athletic benefits" is very non specific way to justify doing exercise where the risk reward isn't there...

    Broadly believed but not true, the goal is too general. Pick a specific goal and their are always better options. Speed? Power? We can get plenty strong with 1% of the risk. 99% of people aren't ready to hit these lifts. Even if there were, they are superior options for development. This just...

    I disagree with your squat/deadlift statement. I left them out on purpose. What purpose do they serve for us? We want maximum development/results with minimum risk and/or fatigue so we can focus on $$$$. We aren't training to win powerlifting meets. We want $$$$ and to look/feel great. These...

    Yes, each is designed to complement the other. A & B 1x/week. To replace the leg press choose either: - Bulgarian split squat - Goblin squat (if you have DBs heavy enough) To replace Rope pushdowns: - Narrow (hands 1 fists apart) pushups Let me know if there are others you need replacement for.

    You’re a Ferrari. But the handbrake is on.. Health and fitness is a relatively easy and simple thing to achieve, yet 90% of us don’t have it. Why? It gets overcomplicated, we try adding stuff instead of removing, we listen to everyone's advice… This is applicable to many things in life… but...

    I think it teaches a lot of transferable lessons to be a 'freelancer'. Often it is the best opportunity someone has. People get comfy with it though, like anything. I see guys making 300k+ on upwork without building any systems or infrastructure to hire/scale/productise (blows my mind). Maybe...

    Pullups will get you 90% of the way there. Try and add some weight (put shit in a backpack or weighted belt) so you can only do between 5-12 pullups per set. 1x23 3x a week isnt going to stimulate much growth. (assuming you only have access to a pullup bar) I would do 3(sets)x5-10(reps)...
