if u were to do them in the floor u will onl;y go as far as it will let if u do them in the bench u can go lower that on my opinion and and 1 1/2 year of lifting has given me a problem but only on the db bench press not in the bb bench press

thats what has always worked for me. i had another forum up with people sayn i don't go low enough on my db press, 5 months ago i weighted 139 and now im at 184, to me i feel like the way i lift is the best way for me to do it. idk just an opinion

yea. i had gottn pointers from that guy today, thats my main concern, after the camera died they guy i was working out with was like try lifting a little closer grip and tuck your elbows. to me i love getting better at this sport and getting advice. just not when its in a disrespectful manner, how i was working out worked for me but i am willing to change to improve. thanks for the comment man.

I say that from past experience, I was repping alot more weight on bench than I am now, then I started touching my chest and focusing on form, and wow it's a whole different ball game. Finally getting back up to the weight I was at with good form. It'll only help you in the long run otherwise you'll have to fix it later on down the road.
It looks like you've got great intensity and passion for lifting, but without using the full range of motion for every lift you are missing complete muscle fiber recruitment. You wouldn't go 3/4 of the way down on squats or 3/4 of the way up on dead lifts, would you?
And I'm not sure why you think you're lifting correctly for your body type...lol...how the hell do you know you're doing that? Because you gained 45lbs during puberty and right when you started lifting? Welcome to newbie gains my friend. But, if you think you gained that weight because you some how zeroed in on exactly what your body needed to maximize muscle synthesis, or because you don't use full range of motion on dumbbell bench press, then you are sadly mistaken.
Use full range of motion on your dumbbell bench and I guarantee that you will gain strength faster than if you continue to use your current technique.
That being said, you're running a really nice log. Adding videos and pictures is just a bonus that I'm sure Gaspari appreciates.

Trying to get to 190 Before January 1st. We will see what happens. Also the new SizeOn Max Performance still working great. Iv noticed with a lot of the products i have used before that towards the end of the cycle i start to get immune to them, and they phase out. With SizeOn V2 its still kicking, crazy pumps, "Warning.. stretch marks have increase..": i know its showing improvement but they are getting real deep. Love the sup though, thanks for those still staying posted, if i go do core tomorrow ill post if you have any questions about the new sizeon leave a post or just pm me.

squats, leg press, leg curls and weighed lunges. sorry i dont have the numbers we had 20 mins to workout so we kind of just tried to get as much in as possible. Gym closed early today completely forgot it was a holiday.

Your squats look good, except you go much further down with 1/2 plates. On 3 plates you did half squats, which is pretty natural when you go heavier. Try getting a bit deeper and it looks golden!
