Thanks bro. I have a log going in the workout section, the link should be in my sig. You should stop by and follow along. There's a lot of good bros in there with awesome advice. I post my videos also which adds some coolness to the log lol.
I definitely work my rotator cuffs which is important. If you bench properly your rotator cuffs should be fine.My training log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=178464441

Also, any Metal Militia/Bill Crawford benching articles circulating could also be of use.
No. It isn't. Like, not at all.

Too many possibilities to list here, have you been adding a little weight each session? Or are you watching the Bro's at the gym who bench the same amount every week for about 1 hour because they take 15 min breaks to get water and flex in the mirror? Just kidding! Seriously though, what is your diet and training like, give us an example.

Definitely agree. I'm 6'2 and not once have I used my height, arm length or whatever other excuse to say I can't bench, squat or deadlift. You work with what you have, learn proper technique and form while constantly striving to do better than the last gym session.

lol'd
These^ plenty of guys can throw up more than 175 at 6"2 or taller. How long has OP been training? Didn't catch that. Anyways, assuming your form is on point I'd say try out a 5x5 program, get a solid partner and incorporate some forced reps, I usually find that's the quickest way I've been able to improve my bench numbers.Team MuscleTech Rep

stopping a couple inches from your chest is good enough you don't need to touch the bar to your chest to make it a "full rep", Cutler isn't even doing that here
