I made one similar to the above this weekend, although I made it slightly taller so that the top bar is just around hip height.

It still needs to be cemented / glued together, but it seems solid...

That can't be the complete list of foods, surely? What a brutal meal plan. The only vegetable/fruits is 1 serving of beans, and some raisins from the cereal.

If that's the trainer's nutritional...

It depends on what you're eating exactly, but for the typical burger/fries combo you're looking at is a high calorie meal with low nutrient density. It's not just fast food either...same deal with...

Barbell Hack squats. I'm not exactly replacing anything because I don't have a squat rack, but hack squats are what I do as a closest approximation to back squats.

Probably any simply laid out routine like Starting Strength is good because you're just starting out. Now is probably you're best opportunity to learn the correct form on the main lifts and build...

is there a catch?

If you're talking about targeting the short-head of the biceps, I've found "side" hammer curls isolate very well.

The movement is like a regular hammer curl except the dumbbell path tracks path...

I use sort of a clean & jerk / snatch movement from a standing position. I also do this for dumbbell bench. Good form is important, and you want the swing to be driven by your hips and not arms.

It's possible if your arms are proportionally stronger than your back. Try with a lighter weight at the beginning.

Also try and pinch your shoulders at the top of each rep to ensure you're...

Explosiveness looks good - Only thing I'd suggest is to bring the bar closer to your shins.

This video is spot-on. Perfect angle for hitting rear delts (bar runs parallel with thighs), arms are kept close to torso, and the overhand grip is how most do it.

Yes, the original Dorian Yates...

I don't think you can definitively say that. No, they might not "kill you" in the short-term, but heart and liver damage is quite possible and may not become apparent until later in life.

So...

"Unnecessary" is subjective. Unnecessary for what?

Forearms are just like any other muscle - they require primary stimulus to grow efficiently.

An ordinary bicep curl causes the contraction...

The best advice for a novice would be to envision "sitting down" with each rep. This will naturally take empahsis off the knee joints during the lift.

I remember reading a bulking technique similar to this, but I don't remember what it is called. The idea involved several over/under maintenance days during the week, but with a net calorie surplus...

definitely Pendlay rows

You could probably make one out of PVC pipe and a barbell collar. Or use a dumbbell with the weights on only one side.

To answer the OP's question, my top 3 preferred forearm exercises are:
1....

I split it over 5 days (using A B A B A ordering Monday to Friday, and then switching the B A B ...). I split it up simply because of lack of time.

I am currently trying out an HST program. You can add in an additional set if you wish, but you will definitely feel and see the progress after the first few weeks of following the suggested rep/set...

Scenario sounds like Hypoglycemia, maybe check with the doctor to see if that's the case.
