lets face facts. Big shoulders are largely genetics. Shoulders also respond very well to certain things which we can't talk about.
There's only so much change we can make with training.

ok so the question is, your front squat is weak, your back squat is weak, your bench is OK.
Why would this be a form or grip issue? You just have weak legs because you probably never trained them...

first time I tried one I couldn't. Then I adjusted the pad to be closer to my feet, and lowered the footpad so shins were vertical, then I did about 10 straight away.

There's a HUGE difficulty...

Edit: misread.

you're young so just stick to a proven routine. Your bench is probably better because you do it more. You need to get committed to a proper routine that will not emphasize...

Hardgainer is more of a bodybuilding term, referring to people who are slower to put on muscle mass.

All your problems seem to be related to injuries. It sounds like you have some kind of...

please go and check the results of any raw powerlifting competition (outside of elite level superheavyweight), compare the ratio of lifts to your own.

Thanks.

he said SS, so low bar, obviously.

Don't worry about keeping stationary knees, knees will often track forward and outwards, it's not a problem. Some people's knees do remain stationary, this is...

Define what it means to be in proportion. "Symmetry" (the way bodybuilders use the word, to mean flow and proportion) is a standard that has evolved with bodybuilding. So why would you expect...

1 handed lat work is better for hypertrophy, because you can get a better ROM and stretch. Taking a muscle through it's full ROM doesn't increase risk of injury if you're doing it properly.

I'm trying to push some HIIT and complex type workouts for general fitness and weightloss.

Whenever I hit that wall where I'm sucking air and borderline going to vomit, I take a rest, take a...

I'd say this will almost certainly not work, but really you don't have much to lose by trying.

I don't think visibly anyone has an imbalance from mixed grip. When it comes to injuries, that's more debatable. Hook grip is fine for top sets but if you're doing volume work it's not. Most...

its fine

Wow real cows cream and real sugar and still the bench isn't going up, I don't believe it. Maybe eating even cleaner will help...

You can also set safeties in a power rack, I'm assuming you cant on the bench press there because mostly they don't have that feature. But that's 2 good reasons to bench in the power rack. As long...

Nope. I think mobility work should be prescriptive, so I need to know what to do rather than just throwing **** at a wall.

Yes. I basically can't get anywhere near depth unless my toes are pointing at least 45 degrees out. Best stance is shoulder width.

Yeah There's one gym near me that did the same. All bars thicker than standard. They also got a deadlift platform and within a week they had put squares of carpet down on the rubber to cushion the...

When I squat deep I feel the most discomfort in my hip creases, even if I'm just free squatting. It's not a sharp pain, and it's equal on both sides so I don't think it's impingement. It feels more...
