    Higher reps, as in 50 to 200, is good for rehabilitative purposes, not muscle gain.

    The best is moderate weights to moderate range of reps. 8 to 12, depending on your tempo and cadence.

    Overtraining is something pretty hard to achieve :)
    If you don't want your legs to grow, just do reps below 3.

    If you feel your traps working, that means you cannot do the "anti-shrug" while doing your lateral and front raises. Which means your delts are not getting the stimulus they deserve :)

    You cannot do a proper clean or a power clean with an EZ-bar.
    You can just curl it.

    But it would be better to use a dumbbell and supinate.

    If you can easily complete it, you would probably won't gain any muscle.
    But if you are struggling, that means you are not strong enough to do it. Regardless of the muscle growth, that exercise is a...

    Like 1 seconds, and usually at the last set of the exercise if I am using HIT methods. Maximum number of reps with slow negatives and forced, pausing contractions.

    You don't have to increase the weight you are using every week. It is not even logical. If you could increase 0.5 pound every week, that would mean 2 pounds a month, 24 pounds a year. And in 20 years...

    Where in with Dumbbells, you can go up and down and also you can bring them closer at the top. That squeeze at the top is very useful, and...

    Sit ups are not a good exercise. You would do just fine without them. It is "normal" to have lower-back pain while doing them because of the repetitive flexion of your spine.

    John Meadows also likes to use Smith Machine from time to time, he claims it can help him "isolate" more.

    The body will compensate by soreness to a new stimulus :)

    Well, actually "true" bench press does not involve pecs primarily. What I mean by "true" bench press is the way powerlifters do them. You should move them with triceps in an ideal world, which means...

    Hi.
    That squats looks too heavy for that many reps, and I would recommend you to keep your head stable and looking forward.

    For deadlifts, I would recommend your hip extension to be a little...

    In a back extension, your hamstrings are less used when compared to stiff leg deadlifts. Probably the angle is causing that.

    But I, personally do deadlifts down to my knees if my main goal is to...

    If that range is OK for you, if you can go low that much while keeping your back flat, there is no problem.

    But if you lack the mobility (or genetics) to go that low without keeping your back...

    You either walk or sprint, since sprinting would be risky (imho), please just walk.

    It would be helpful for you in many ways.

    Your hips should move first on your squat, not your legs.

    I liked the way you do deadlifts. Maybe your hips can start higher, but both forms look good.
