You tend to go below parallel on the incline DB Or do you stop your upper limb at 90 degrees when going that heavy? Pretty sure I messed up my delts royally going too deep on incline barbell..

too much chest barbell movements are shoulder wreckers... i do barbells but rarely maybe 1 every 3 months
i grew out of the how much can you bench phase quite early in my training .. i feel incline barbell a lot in the front delts..
Dumbells is where its at...
my chest is a super strong point standout for me I attribute that to mostly dumbell presses

on incline dumbell I touch my chest.. as with all Dumbell movements and pressing movements

the laterals behind the back do you do them both at the same time or one arm?

Same time.........much better stretch than regular laterals.

Today was:  Chest/Back/Delts, bis, tris, forearms

I recently switched from hitting each bp 1x per week to doing full upper body 3 times a week and lower body 2x per week.

M/W/F - upper body
Tues/Sat - lower body
Thurs/Sun - rest days

doing 4-5 set per BP (no more than 2 exercises) on upper body day and 6 per bp on lower body days
I do different exercises for each bp each day (except for forearms)

chest/back and bis/tris are supersets
Wednesday I start with Delts supersetted with back and then do chest.
Monday and Friday it's chest/back supersets, then delts, then bi/tri supersets, then forearm

All sets to failure and occasionaly rest pause sets ala DoggCrapp (usually only do one rest pause i.e get 8-12 reps and the rest 10-20 secs and do 2-3 more reps)

strength has been going up consistently and the workouts feel really good.

Waaayyy too much. Lots of wasted movements to choose from with back. All you need is..

Deads/Rows alternated every week
50 chins
T Bar or close grip cable rows
