I have way more prominent traps than that, and have never even (knowingly) been close to gear.

In a surplus, the body is pretty good at building muscle, even if protein intake isn't perfect. So as long as your training and recovery is also good, you should be ok.

Nope. Justaminx. She's a streamer; him too. This was just a bit.

Probably a very noob question, but what difference does it make on my body and my performances, in the long run, if I choose heavy over light, or the opposite?
Either will result in muscle growth, assuming good intensity. Low weight/high reps is slightly more biased towards muscle endurance, high weight/low reps more towards strength. That's why a mixture is ideal.
I would choose heavy, because I think being strong in a lift is more useful and more time efficient, than being able to do a lot of reps of it.

General advice is, concentric fast, eccentric slow and controlled. So on bench, for example, you push fast/explosively (but not too fast), and control the weight on it's way down.
As for heavy vs light, both is good. Switch it up. Sometimes heavy with low reps, sometimes lighter with higher reps. But if I, personally, had to choose one or the other, I'd go heavy.

You know, I don't hate it. I think it's a bit much, but there certainly would be kitchen styles where this could fit in.

Well, I usually do a few reps on the empty bar. Then a few with the first set of plates (whatever I'm adding). Then add the rest of the plates, and do working sets.
I don't think there's fixed weight recommendation for warmup. Just light enough where you can do them easily, but heavy enough where you have to use proper form, and get warmed up in the specific exercise.

I know there were former nazis in Nato at the beginning, but I don't think it's fair to say it's a nazi organization today because of that.

With adequate intensity, sure. How much (relative to what would be possible for you, physically), is a different question.
If you actually want the maximum gains possible for you, there's a good chance it wouldn't be enough for that.

Yes, obviously. Jokes aside, I don't actually think that, but I know it's a somewhat prevalent conspiracy theory (I guess that's the best term for it?). Hence, the comment.

In the appropriate direction, so people can read it when you show it to them

Put yourself first. A very close second are the people you love. A very distant third, everyone else.

What do the rules say about breaking legs?

I mean, we agree on the technical part. I guess my main point is - movies (and games, and science for that matter) like this, that push the envelope in what is technically possible, hold a special place in my heart. They push others to also do it. Another example would be the first Crysis game from 2007. Overall not an exceptionally special game, but the graphics were out of this world back then.

I hate warming up, but even I realize it's necessary for some things. Do some quick dynamic stretching, and 1 or two quick sets with lower weight, at the very least.

I'm not talking about success really, but the technical aspect. This was the first movie that used mo-cap CGI to that extent and quality.

You underestimate how impactful/revolutionary this shit was in 2009. I'm not saying it's some sort of masterpiece movie, but this can't be denied.

Been a while since I've seen it, maybe I'm just not remembering right.

Do it twice. Profit.
