Fat Loss and resting heart rate

I have a slower resting heart rate than normal (42 bpm). I’m in ok shape but have a long way to go. When I walk it goes between 56 to 70. How much does your resting heart rate affect fat loss?

Missing a workout

If you’re doing, for example, the high frequency full body program, and you miss a day for some reason, what should you do? Do you make sure to hit every workout in a week (even if that takes 10 days)? Or should you keep moving to the next week of the program on schedule?

Cut and Bulk

Do i really have to cut or bulk to make progress? Can i build muscle at all at a slight deficit? If im gaining strength at the gym, does this mean im building muscle even though its not as obvious physically?

Progression on certain exercises

Is it normal that there are some exercises i just dont increase weight on easily, like RDLs or shoulder press. Is that normal? Does this mean im not progressing? Or how do i know if i am or not?

Magnesium spray

Someone told me I should get magnesium spray and put it on my feet instead of taking a supplement orally. This sounds crazy to me and I'm wondering if you have had a look at the research because it is hard for me to interpret.
