    Hard to say, could be your form, or it could just be that you have some weak points in the motion that need to be strengthened before you start to really feel it in the shoulders, but as long as your...

    Since you're still new to working out I wouldn't even recommend focusing on a bulk or cut at this point. Just focus on improving your lifts, proprioception, eating the right foods and not missing...

    x2

    My suggestion would be something along the lines of:

    Deadlift or T-bar row 5x5
    Pull-ups 4x6-12
    Seated Row 3x12-15
    DB One-Armed Rows 4x10-15

    Overhead Press 5x5

    1) Sometimes I do, but most of the time I'll stop a little before and go back up. It's not like I'm trying to get a good score on a PFT or anything I'm trying to bodybuild. I prefer that increased...

    iQWOC-T3l6Q

    Check out some of the movements in this video^. But really, someone said narrow grip, that's a good tip. Also heavy pulls from the floor, deadlifts, t-bar rows, etc.

    You shouldn't...

    It is anatomical, that is your sartorius muscle/tendon which is used in knee flexion and various hip movements to a degree. All that leg work you've been doing has probably been stimulating this...

    I see what you're saying about the floor and your shoes. Is there anywhere in the gym that is matted where you could perform these? Or get shoes with a better grip for that surface. I think a little...

    I realize you may be going slow to better your form but it seems to me like you are too slow off the ground. A little more explosiveness may help. Also, your hands are fine, but as you're coming up...

    Are you left-handed? My guess is that you're using too much weight with improper form. Is the pain getting worse? Do you notice it any other time? If so maybe you just need to give yourself some rest...

    It sounds like you have poor proprioception for the squat and/or some muscles may be a bit more tight on one side than the other. Continuing to work towards better form will help correct this. Keep...

    Maybe you have a weak posterior chain then. Can you do bodyweight squats without falling backwards? Stretching and the exercises mentioned might still be beneficial to you.

    ^^seconded. Some accessory work could be stiff-legged deads and/or glute-ham raises. If you have a band you could do resisted lateral steps.

    I second what Rasputin said^

    Also, the heart is a muscle, it strengthens. If what you're doing is too easy maybe you're not pushing yourself hard enough. I wouldn't first assume that you're a...

    Plenty of options, you can have the DBs at your side, or hold it in between your legs, or you can have them up near your shoulders with a neutral-grip or in a front squat fashion.
