Muscle Imbalances, Macro Breakdowns, 4 Day Split, Junior moving to Men's rugby, Weight Gain, Snatch and Clean & Jerk - Rugby Muscle Q&A

1. So after not shifting the Christmas weight and then putting on another half stone first couple of weeks of lockdown I got my ass into gear and have lost just over a stone. When gyms are back open my plan is to probably out on about 5lbs but want to do this in a 'clean bulk' type way. Best way to go about this in terms on nutrition, macro splits, excess calories per week, etc
   
   
2. 17 Year Old wanting to make an impact in senior rugby
   
   
3. What's more beneficial for rugby, clean and jerk or snatches?
   
   
4.  I play fly half in Sydney Australia and have a bad a recent run on injury breaking my left fibula and more recently a grade 2 tear in my right ankle. My main concern is building up my legs to a point where I am stronger faster and most importantly prevent further injury. Gyms reopen in 2 weeks here and am super keen to get back into building them up, what would be the best approach to achieve this goal maybe an upper lower 4 day a week split incorporating squats and power cleans? 
   
   
5. Have goals of playing at the next level. Having trouble gaining a few pounds but I eat right and train right. What else do I need to do to help achieve my goals?
   
   
6. Looking at address pectoral imbalance (ie stronger one side) - any advice/exercises? Cheers
