Thank you for your advice!
Now, I do agree with practically everything you’ve just said, the point is, I don’t feel very well when I’m smaller, even if I’m technically lean. That’s why I’m probably gonna aim for bulking up a little bit, as I really need the feeling, that I know what I’m doing and that it’s working for once. When I have that, I’m happy to get leaner and bulk up again, as I’ll know, that I’m able to do it and not to be stuck at 170lbs and weaker than before 
Still, thank you very much for you point-of-view!

Yeah, maybe I should put some LISS cardio on the free day?
Well, I’m glad somebody like that physique, I didn’t really enjoy it, to be honest
Well, if you have some time to check it from time to time, I’d definitely appreciate any advice!
Thank you for the advice!
For the training, do you think that the current program with 6 days a week isn’t viable at all? Also, how many sets would you mean per exercise? And for the double dynamic progression and sets to failure, I’ll definitely give it a go!
And thank you for the food “heuristics”.
I don’t see any questions, honestly…
If you mean this
then I do understand, he has the required knowledge, only his unwillingness to answer to my report e-mails, etc. is kinda destroying the point of having a coach right now. I understand, he’s probably dealing with some problems, but I’m getting almost no guidance this way, albeit I’m paying for it.
So your paying him? Does he work with you one on one in person?
Yeah, of course. I know him for quite a long time, back from his competition day. And not now, we’re trying to collaborate distantly, as I moved to Italy like 2 months ago because of my work.
Well…ok . SO you trust him. The issue is distance
Just 1-2 sets per exercise. I am personally not a fan of training 6 days a week. I think we’re you’re at with your development, 3 full body days a week will give you the most muscle growth stimulus for your time in the gym by giving each muscle group a very high frequency. It also allows for a lot more recovery

It doesn’t matter. Unless you’re pushing the absolute limits of performance it makes no difference at all. Our bodys are great at cardio.
For clarity: Conditioning to me is your state of ability to carry out a given task.
Gene Rychlak was an great shape to push massive weight.
Mohammed Ali was in great condition to box.
So guide your conditioning toward what ever you want to be conditioned to do.
But do your LISS too, because that has downstream performance and recovery benefits too.

Mosty, yes. Also, I’d expect him to tell me, that he has no time to write the e-mails and read my reports, but as I said, I suspect, he’s dealing with some other problems now.

OK, so you’d center the whole training session around squats/deadlift/benchpress and some accessories with only 1-2 sets per exercies and all of sets until failure?
Yeah, I feel it’s very limiting to my squats, otherwise I’m rather fine 
What is very limiting to your squats?
As I’m mentioning in the first post, one of my problems is, that I have poor condition when doing longer (above 5) sets of squats, where I’m becoming easily exhausted.
Sounds like a loading problem.
Use this.
No not necessarily. I would focus it around lifts that work for you for each body part. That could be machines, dumbbells, barbells, cables. Just good movements that you can progress on
