    +1 on this. Your knees look a little forward and feet a little far behind the bar.

    As far as the knees on the negative, keep them locked till the bar gets passed them (basically rdl it) and then...

    First thing you should look at is the big compounds targeting that area. There's a difference between having a decent barbell bench and not being satisfied with chest development in comparison to...

    Your heels look like they're slightly coming up at the bottom of the lift. Also hard to tell from that angle but it looks like you may not be shoving your knees outward enough. Sit back more and...

    Yes, letting your shoulders come out of their sockets on a bench is detrimental to shoulder health.

    You could do face pulls and overhead pressing if you're not already to strengthen the whole...

    I did strict form pendlay rows for a year and didn't see any lat development. What helped me was using "cheating", some upper body momentum and a bit of hip drive, and heavier poundages.

    Also, if...

    If your deadlift is 40 lbs below your squat, you're probably squatting too high.

    Your lifts don't seem out of proportion, either. Deads and squats are supposed to be higher than bench.

    If bar placement isn't too low (squat) and elbows are tucked (bench), the next thing I would check is scapular retraction and upper back tightness.

    Also, wrist pain generally means you'd be doing...

    Didn't notice that. I did notice, in the hole, my middle back seems to be overextended.

    I take a deep breath and push my stomach out prior to the rep (where I hesitate before starting is because I...

    Psoas? I do stretch hams quads and hip flexors daily. Shoulder flexibility is an issue as shoulder dislocations are quite difficult and my traps feel overly tight. I wouldn't doubt poor glute...

    Also should probably note that as fatigue sets in, what generally happens is my butt comes up before my shoulders, and I have to pause mid rep and adjust myself.

    Doms is worst in the hams, followed by glutes and lower back, only ever get doms in quads if I front squat.

    During the set, I'd say I feel hams quads and hip flexors the most. In between sets, my...

    Squat form check

    Can't seem to get the hang of squats, and it's by far my worst lift. Woke up with some lower back pain (a twinge when the lumbar is straight or properly arched and I inhale), which I assume is due to...

    Go deeper. If barbell, elbows in, touch chest as you would bench. Shoulders are used most in the hole. Cheating depth puts emphasis on the triceps.

    Barring celltech or previous benching experience, I wouldn't say 125x5 - 225 x5 bench in three months is a realistic expectation.

    Overhead press and bench (dips as well if you so choose) are going...

    This.

    As far as 3x5 not being more volume, its a 40% increase, not to mention you would likely increase the frequency of upper pushes and pulls as one per workout isn't going to be optimal for...

    Where people get the idea that 5x5 is inferior for hypertrophy and is a pl program is beyond me.

    Look at 531 BBB.

    SS isn't optimal for beginners concerned with hypertrophy because of low frequency of upper body compounds, low volume, and no direct arms, not because 12 reps are somehow more...

    Mmm, no, powerlifting isn't a goal. I like getting stronger, but a balanced physique would take precedence. I guess ill keep looking.

    And impressive. I guess ill start utilizing some momentum.
