If you are able, consult a soft tissue medical professional in your area (physiotherapist). They’ll be able to do a more thorough diagnosis than your GP. There’s some significant discomfort that can occur if muscles develop tension and run on nerves, to oversimplify.

Getting ahead of it - chiropractic is a scam.

I think in Canada they’ve been trying to reach people to remind them the church doesn’t forbid vaccination, but they’re not exactly recommending it, because freedumb. And also general distrust of the government. That community doesn’t have a lot of education and they speak Plattdeutsch so it can be hard to reach them.

No, they don’t do that part.

Yes, but to be faaaaiirrrrr, the truly rich don’t collect a salary. It is arguable that if a person’s income is subject to income tax, the person is not a capitalist but a worker. The rich have all kinds of ways to avoid declaring income.

All looks reasonable to me. Take deload weeks and change things up if progress stalls. Doesn’t need to be complicated. If you feel like you’re overdoing or under-doing one or more group you can switch things up and take stuff out.

Also keep in mind big muscles need big time to recover, and heavier weights also impact recovery. So even if you’re doing a deadlift focus (for example) you wouldn’t necessarily deadlift 2x a week. It’s just too taxing. Work in glute bridges and RDLs and other accessories instead. But smaller muscles like biceps and triceps need a lot less time to recover, and curls tend to be lightish, so you can do that a lot more.

RP has a whole set of articles about volume if you want to go full nerd but the indicators of how many reps you could get done/weight lifted should be flat or trending up, not trending down. If it is down, you’re going too hard.

Where’s the pull?

Lots of people do a lot of extra exercises to get extra volume that just makes them tired. Looks fine to me.

Shoulder press and incline bench have overlaps but they’re sufficiently different. You can do the same primary (compound) exercises each day but you’ll want to change them out every 8-12 weeks to switch things up a little. But you’d do that anyways if you did different exercises.

Arm day is dead

You don’t know enough to do your own strength programming. Nobody does at first. Get a program from somewhere. 5x5, for example. The other site has dozens of starting programs. The RP hypertrophy app is a good option.

I use a seedling starter mat. I tend to brew when it’s cold enough that I sort of don’t need the fridge (but it would help) and it keeps it about 3-4°C above ambient no problem, even after fermentation.
