Yeah, everything is genetics. But keep in mind before they dropped the press from the Olympics and the bench press was still gaining popularity, most amateur strength athletes could press bodyweight.

Yeah you'll need to go online to order.

No it is not common but it would give me a sense of your strength.
155 is decent and as you raise that number your shoulders will follow.
As others have suggested don't negate the traps and upper...

Good effort.
Suggestions:

Tuck your chin a little and don't let it move.

Make sure your arms are straight. Towards the middle looks like you have a slight bend and I don't want your bi...

Front squats are not bad for you.

Also if you want some form of back squat you can get a safety squat bar or check out Dave Draper's top squat.

I see little utility in rack pulls 2" above your knees for mass. Yeah, you can work your grip and getting used to heavier weights, but you expressed a desire to pack on mass. Deadlifts, rows and...

Great advice.

If you can't get the work you need done in an hour and a half what are you doing?
Based on your current weight, I think you'd make more progress doing less. Either a upper/lower split like 5/3/1...

It looks reasonable.
Please don't be offended, but based on your strength levels you might make faster progress on a full body linear progression program. Once you stall on that 2-3 times (6 months...

Well you can't use a flat 70% of your 1RM for your working weight for all rep ranges. Roughly 70% of your 1RM will yield around 12 reps. So if your workout is calling for 3 sets of 16, you might...

If you use this as a heavy strength movement, it becomes a risky exercise. If you use it as an isolation/finisher and focus on building tension and working the muscle (not heaving weight) these can...

Whenever I've played with the smith machine the locked bar path makes the squat sit back harder to do resulting in me having more knee bend and clearly knee strain from it.

Fix your problem with...

Agree focus on heavy pressing--mainly the overhead/military press. Then once in a while do dumbell presses.
Also consider snatch grip high pulls or powersnatches to hit the traps.

Can you...

Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 books are all great.

Dinosaur Training by Brooks Kubik is a classic.

Westside books have some interesting stuff but sometimes take a few readings to process.

Where are your shins in relation to the bar?

Deadlifts don't have as much of a sit back compared to squats. And for most the hips start higher then a parallel squat. Some folks start lower but...

Just curious, what's the benefit of a 4 day program vs a 3 day for you?

Besides "liking" it (which when all things are equal, liking is good).

I'd say stop rolling the bar around after the first rep. For me I think I'll be losing energy and positioning by doing that.

Also, are you driving the weight through the whole foot or more of the...

Two thoughts, one if you want to progress faster you might want to do a basic linear progression program first. Since this will let you pile on weight faster.

5/3/1 is great but is best once...

What's your motivation for a 4 day program over a 3 day?

If a 3 day is going to get you just as good results, why have a 4th day?

If its just for enjoyment, then that's fine but consider the...

Heck, stick with it for 6 months to a year.
I miss that linear progress of yesteryear. Enjoy it while it lasts.
