your squat #s dont match your trap bar deads very well nor do your leg press. im betting youy squatting a mile high. post a clip of the 365 x 5.

ands how do you know your #s already if you havent done this?
 
This is what i am doing currently, and asking for adjustments.

I come about Parallel while sometimes requiring a spot. Ill try and get a camera but will still photos work? It all i got.

I just switched to traps bar and work on keeping form, prolly why numbers arent par.
 
trap bar deads are easier than reg deads. you should be pulling more than you squatting using a trap bar.

plus your leg press is lacking for a 365lb x 5 squatter. thats why i said you bound to be squatting high.

next time you squat go al the way down. use 225 for starters.

Yea ill give it a go, once i feel my forms in check ill up the wieght on the trap bar, what im doing on the trap bar i used to do on the straight.

Id say my leg press lacks because it follows my sqauts... i dunno though.

I would consider moving shoulder and tri's to your chest day.

there is no way my shoulders can take that, they are generally in pain at the end of chest day.

They may be bothering you more b/c you're hitting them twice a week. I have some shoulder issues i've been dealing with for 2+ years now and it's helped me to combine chest and shoulders while lowering the volume of shoulder work I do. Just a suggestion.:)

Do you do any rotator cuff work to strengthen the muscles surrounding the joint?
 
I used to do them all on the same day, this is what works. Its also the reason they are spaced so far apart.

Yea i do some rotator work outs as part of my strecthing, using band or lightwieght... helps a lot before my workout. PT perscribed stuff. What do you do?
