•Australian researchers reported in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research that when weight-trained subjects performed incline bench presses, the muscle activity of their upper pecs was only about 5% more than the muscle activity of their upper pecs during the flat bench press.
•Canadian scientists found that when trained lifters did the reverse-grip bench press, the muscle activity of their upper pecs was 30% greater than when they did the bench press with a standard overhand grip.

intredasting..never knew there was such a thing as reverse grip bench press..gonna try it out on my next chest day

how was shisha? 

imo you're thinking too much, your traps and delts are fine, just work on your form and you'll grow in no time.

eh crap. the shoulder comment was for thecrab, lol. YOUR shoulders however, are fine.

edit:   

dunno how many of u guys have seen this video..brb gonna go curl in the squat rack

i got lucky. i was literally dragged into the free weights by my gym buddies when they saw me fooling around with the machines. if it werent for them, progress for me would be much slower than it is atm.

You big sissy!

i was doing the newbie thing with the machines. and wtf sick poundages

Lies.
I took preworkout boosters and I ain't curling 60 lbs dumbbells. 

Told ya you can go heavier than BW!

Only so much your core can handle. I always use a belt when i deadlift and squat. It does tighten the midsection which allows your body to maintain the arch and no buckle your lower back. From the video you posted (180kg i think), you look like you were already struggling to keep your form steady. Another reason for that might be because you are doing partial lifts. Maybe a full deadlift would look different in the video. I'm not very familiar with the bb approach for a partial deadlift, but from a strength perspective, you might need to lower the weights and do a full deadlift because form is terrible and you might bust your lower back in no time.

Just a thought

S

what do you mean more than you can handle? if you can lift it up the first time, thats the weight that you -can- handle. if you couldnt handle the weight you wouldnt even been able to get it up in the first place.

oh, btw..
video.
