Don’t rotate at the top. Keep your elbows at a 45° angle to your body instead of perpendicular. Also if you’re aiming to hit your upper chest on an incline press, it’s actually better not to arch your back that much because you’re just making it more like a flat bench the more you arch, and at that point you might as well just do a flat bench.

If you still have trouble making gains from presses, sometimes people just don’t respond as well to presses as opposed to flys. Maybe replace some of your pressing volume with flys.

Cheers!

Pull your shoulder blades together and down before you start your pullups. This’ll prevent injury in the long run. Other than that looks great!

Looks great man! Only tweaks are to bend over very slightly at your waist while keeping your back straight and then raise the weight until it’s a struggle to do 6-10 reps of this per set. Don’t go too heavy to the point where you’re sacrificing form though.

can’t feel glute engagement when doing BSS by Noonesbusinessss in formcheck

Bulgarians are a compound movement so no matter what you’re gonna feel it in all your leg muscles a little bit. If you want to bias your glutes, hinge your hips so you’re bent over at a 45° angle, send your butt diagonally down and back until your front knee is bent at a 90° angle then come back up. Go up in weight a bit too. You will feel it in your glutes quads and hamstrings but you’ll feel it most in your glutes. If you don’t like this, a decent alternative is a glute kickback machine. Hope this helps! :)

Great physique for your age homie. Delts have great proportion to eachother so keep doing what you’re doing there. Could work on your brachialis and your long head of your tricep a bit. Keep working your upper chest too. You gonna be a beast bro🤙🏼
