Do you recommend LISS instead of HIIT/Interval Aerobic in this case? For how much time?

I workout 2x Lower Body and 2x Upper Body and occasionally when I feel well recovered I add one more workout. I guess cardio interfiers more with lower body workouts more than upper body, right?

I prefer keeping my workouts simple and not adding too many variations of a same exercise.

I've never used straps other than for deadlifts so I'll try with that. Would adding bicep curls and overhead triceps extension help with grip strenght too? Once I start using straps for my back...

I tend to stick to lower rep ranges for most exercises. My chest grows well, so do my shoulders, even triceps and biceps. My back is the one that grows less so I wonder is it better to stick to...

In addition to my big lower body movements I do some injury prevention exercises for soccer such as nordics, calf raises, copenaghen planks, etc.

By volume you mean high reps right? Or altering tempo?

What are your exercises for the posterior chain?

You all have much higher deadlift than squat, does that mean I should work a little bit focusing on improving my deadlift?

Back Squat to parallel (I can't get lower without really rounding low back)
Conventional Deadlift
I'm 6 feet tall and weight 84 kgs

Yes I even use straps, without them my deadlift would be like a 90% pf my squat

I'm squatting 140 kg for 4 reps and have at least 2 or maybe 3 reps left in the tank.
When I deadlift I can do the same, but the fourth repetition really takes me a lot of effort and I even have to...

I know 'best' exercise depends on a lot of factors. By best I mean the one I should put the most effort in, like Squats, DL, Bench for the back. The one that works the most amount of musculature....
