0:57 “Is there any carry over or need to develop strength in the 1-5 rep range in order for that strength to be carried over into the 8-12 rep range for hypertrophy promotion?”

Meta-analysis of high load vs. low-load training; similar hypertrophy in spite of different strength gains: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2.... Also worth noting that the theory behind reverse linear periodization (starting with low volume/high intensity and progressing to high volume/lower intensity) is that early strength gains will help lead to more hypertrophy, but that’s never panned out in the research (one example here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1....

14:33 “When in a caloric deficit, should you reduce training volume, or training intensity?”
