    Stretching reduces strength temporarily.
    "Tight" muscles will resist weight where as a stretched muscle will not as much.

    Most young people think that training legs is to go through excruciating pain for 50 sets and leave the gym on crutches.

    Why the hell not.
    Back in the day (like 20 years back) I picked up some DBs and all I did was side laterals for some time.
    My side delts just grew and remain my best bodypart to this day.

    After the 4 week cycle you add 10 pounds.
    So if your 1RM for the deadlift is 225 pounds you start off with 90% of that as your 1RM.
    Then you do the calculations of the percentages based on that....

    Knees buckling in and hips shooting up are signs of lack of tightness at the start and weakness in the legs.
    Also your feet are too far apart.

    You can do both.
    You can do half ROM and gradually increase the ROM.
    Are you saying it's not going to work or it's going to hold your progress back and based on what?

    I quit squats because of my complete inability to hold a straight back even to parallel no matter what.
    Thankfully I can manage deads just fine so I don't really mind not squatting.

    At the end of the deadlift workout, if you still feel your grip hasn't given it's all because at one point you switched to using straps, just hold the bar is all, can't get simpler...

    Yes and,like I said, there's nothing wrong with using straps AFTER your grip has failed.
    There's not a chance in hell your deadlift grip won't get stronger like that.

    You can try a hook grip but I doubt it will work for you, small hands and hook grip don't mix very well.
    I also don't think anyone should bother with learning a hook grip unless they compete.

    Very much depends.
    For example 5x5 can be a few things.
    It can be 5 sets with strictly 5 reps and gradual weight progression from one set to the next.
    This tries to be a little bit of everything....

    Yes, but it's not always a good strategy.
    For example if you can't do a pull up but can do half reps then that's a way to get stronger till you manage the full ROM.

    Not necessarily.
    I went 3 full years on just 6 exercises, squats, deads, BP, rows, pulldowns and shoulder presses.
    And if at any point you get bored you can always switch up.
