Your trainers clearly never read Starting Strength.

No idea, I certainly haven't. This was decades ago, though, so it's entirely possible that established best practice has changed.

these days your better of not reading that, probably. bunch of outdated and bad advice coming from that corner.

What do you recommend?

[taneq]

"Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."

Also probably move around a lot, doesn't matter how, ideally by finding something fun to do that involves moving around a lot.
