What are some under-rated or less known exercises, foods, techniques
Couple off the top of my head:
Face pulls- Easiest way to double the size of your delts. Mostly rear delt but it pushes everything up and out too.
Grip width variations on bench- Best way I've found to target front delts with the most weight is wide grip bench. Similarly the best way to get a ton of weight on your triceps is close grip bench yet I never see anyone doing either.
Quark, Kefir, Skyr, etc- Cottage cheese is about the only one most people know about but high protein fermented dairy in that no-mands land between yogurt and cheese are godlike for protein with low calories and often come packed with B vitamins, Vitamin K, etc.
Satay- pretty uncommon in the west but with nuts + oil + various meats + veg it's one of the best bulking foods around and can easily top 1200 calories per plate.

For cutting, quorn is a godsend. Incredibly high in protein and low in calories, although expensive.

What grip are you supposed to be doing for facepulls?
My gym's pulley is high and can't be brought down to face level so it makes the exercise kinda awkward, have to stand back in a kind of incline angle, almost kneeled down stance. For that reason the bottom pic, overhand grip feels more natural but most google results depict the top version. Am I doing them wrong?

Lean back a little. Engage your lats as much as you need to to stop coming forward.
>>41680827
Yeah the expense is a bitch, especially in the UK

>kroc rows
+1 Best thing I've found for lats
>>41680917
Whatever works. Omar has a video preferencing double bicep pose motion which works well but you're targeting the rear delts so any grip and angle will target different parts of the muscle.
As for hand placement/grip, to the side like you're doing rows works best
High targets more of your lats and low targets more of your upper delt.

Bent-over lateral side raises.
>>
Pendlay rows and proper back work in general

Heavy trap bar shrugs will blow the fuck out of your neck and traps. I never see anyone doing it and it makes me sad.
