Best method for transposing for maximal learning

I don't want to overcomplicate this question and it is probably not that deep but, I am learning this tune where the lead sheet is in D Major. I have done the harmonic function analysis and written the roman numerals above each chord. I have not learned the tune yet. I want to learn it in G because I want to sing over it and it fits my range better.

Should I keep the marked up lead sheet in D and mentally transpose everything to G while learning the tune? Or should I just handwrite my own lead sheet on G on a staff of paper?

Obviously the second option would be the least hassle for me and the easiest way to learn it in G but I don't want to be "cheating" and miss out on the benefits of transposing mentally if there are any.

The same question could be formulated for learning a tune in 12 keys after knowing it by heart in one key. Do you guys transpose it mentally at your instrument or do you create a new lead sheet with the transposed changes and melody?

Program Petition: 3DMJ programs

Could programs based on Alberto Nunez or Eric Helms philosophies be added to the library? I haven't read the book but I follow both of them on IG and they are very compelling. I am interested in trying out their training methods.

General Gainz question

I see that the General Gainz in liftosaur is pretty simple, basically increase weight until you can do 6 Volume Drop Sets after the rep max. However I bought the book and I got lost about half way in, the first few chapters are simple but it seems to keep explaining the methodology in different ways. Increase intensity, weight, reps, rest, 3/4 sets. Etc.

Is the program in liftosaur based on the book? Or just on the most simple version of the GG framework? Has u/ashtanov read the book? Maybe you'll know what I mean.
