Welcome to the list Dave.  I will try to answer some of your questions and
let you know what has worked best for me.

Try Tamir Katz's website http://www.geocities.com/tbkfitness/.

I don't go by weight per se.  I try to focus on the number and quality of
reps that I am doing.  I target the last set for 3-4 quality reps to
failure.  BTW, rather than 25/10/6, I usually do 12/8/4 or something
similar.  I also do alactic training...the 1x5s proposed by Art.

Check out http://healingcrow.com/dietsmain/paleo/paleo.html for a list of
paleofoods and related links.

Your fingers.

I personally achieve my best results by eating a small amount (8 ounces or
so) of fatty meat within 30-60 minutes of a workout.  If I don't eat meat
after a workout I start feeling nauseous.

Good luck,
