    This is where my shoulder pain is. Hurts upon hyper extension of the arm and on fixed BB movements
    The clavicle is what I broke for certain.
    Bench Press: 205x5[x] 210x5[x] 215x5[x] 220x5[x] 225 x 5[x] 230x5 []

    ^^Scratched the 5x5 program. Lifting BP 255 x 10, do not know max as I could care less.

    It could be an AC joint problem which is very different from a RC tear. It could also be plain old boring impingement, which occurs near the subacromial bursa. If it were something other than impingement/RC tear/strain, that could explain why medium grip hurts worse than wide.

    Please post a form video though. If your forearms aren't perpendicular to the ground at the bottom of the lift when viewed from both behind you and to your side, your shoulder is going to be destroyed regardless of your grip width. You may also be missing basic cues like 'tuck the elbows as you descend', 'pull the bar apart', and 'squeeze the scapulae'.

    You look fine OP. If I were you I'd wait until closer to spring and then do a cut.

    Your lift numbers are weird as **** though. 1 x 180 for squat? Surely that's not a real 1 RPM for you...

    At first I was feeling bad for you because everyone was trolling you. Now I understand why. First you say you can bench 225x10, then you say maybe only 225x5 since you haven't benched in a while. Then, you're "to sore" to bench (LOL) so you only uploaded a video of you squatting 155 for 1/2 ROM. Red's gonna red I guess. And to answer your original question, yes, your [real] lifts reflect your "asthetics".

    No offense if I'm wrong, but I'm kinda skeptical hippo on the 255x10 benchpress with any decent form from looking at your other numbers there and the pics. The numbers don't make sense.

    Edit:
    OK...I just read you only bring bar down to parallel.

    Different bars must have different rings then cause I'm 5'8" and I use index fingers on the rings. I used to be a finger wider than that too. Pinkies on the rings on my gym's bars would feel close to close grip bench.

    In general, I just tell people that when the humerus is parallel to ground, the forearms should be vertical, and thats your starting width to try.

    I agree. Start stretching. It really helps. I couldn't squat for almost 3yrs from an injury and just started from scratch 3months ago.

    I literally was starting with 95lbs but worked on form and stretched alot. I'm now doing ass to grass with 225lb. I know people at my gym probably think I'm weak still on squats, but I'm literally the only one Ive ever seen go deep. Everyone stacks on weight and does their half reps.

    Deep squat just feels so right once you gain the flexibility to get down there without rounding the back.

    How you like them apples. I think my pics make me appear less bulky than I am. White out effect lol
    lol so funny after looking at the videos I would say your arms are 14 inches flexed and that's me being generous. You've gotta face facts man your body fat % is high and your body is ridiculously unproportional.

    That being said what you need to probably do is completely reboot your entire workout and be honest with yourself about your real capabilities in the gym. You need to lower the weights to i'd say 95 lbs on your squat, 95-135 lbs on your deadlift, and 135 on your bench. focus on these 3 lifts and include explosive pushups, dips, and lunges. stay in the 15-20 range to burn all your fat and also incorporate HIIT training I'd do a six week program where the first week you do 2 minutes of intense cardio followed by 1 minute of light cardio 3 times. Increase intense cardio by 1 minute every other week.

    I wrote this quickly, but I believe for your body type this type of workout should be your foundation.
