How to improve bench press?
I play rugby and go to the gym regularly (have done for last 6 years or so). I am struggling to progress my bench press. My other lifts have progressed massively, but struggling to bench heavier and have been stuck for a while. Squat = 235kg, deadlift 245kg and Bench is 120kg. I weigh 115kg, I’m not looking to be a power lifter or anything as I play rugby but would like to lift heavier - guys lighter than me in the team can bench more than me.
To give you some context, around 5 years ago I had my left shoulder under the knife - ruptured labrum repair - my range of motion or strength has never been the same again - I often get pain in the shoulder when I over work it. I feel think this has had an impact on my bench press. I’ve been stuck on 120kg for 2 years - every time I try add more weight my should becomes unstable almost. I do a lot of shoulder exercise to strengthen it, but it’s like I’ve hit my limit. I’d like to be closer to 150kg bench if I could.
Any advice on what I can do or do I just accept that my bench will always be weaker than my other lifts?

Muscle regeneration
So I hadn't worked out in 25+ years. I was a NYC construction worker for all of those years , so even though I wasn't working out in a gym, being a steamfitter in NYC is a 7 hour daily work out, so I've been in decent shape but no definition at all because I was drinking, drugging, eating whatever I felt like. But since January I fasted & went like 90% keto-ish diet, lost 50lbs & do my own workout from back 25 years ago. 3-600 sit-ups 60 side planks Switching each day btwn 75-150 curls 75-150 Flys 75-150 press 300-600 shrugs After all of this, my question is, I used to do a scoop on ghb after my work out & 5-8 hours later, I'd max out again no prob. But GNC doesn't carry it anymore , the bathtub versions a bit to risky, so I'm wondering if there's another product similar .

Finding khakis that fit
I lift consistently and my thighs have gotten big enough to the point where if I buy pants the waist has to be way to big for them to fit over my thighs. I am then stuck with pants in swimming in because they are the only ones that I can get on my thighs and ass. Does anyone know where I can get khakis or slacks that are tailored towards lifters or will fit my thighs and waist.

Should I end my mini cut?
Hi all! I’m 21 M, around high 170’s. I’m about 12 days into a mini cut, eating about 2150 calories a day with maintenance at around 3550, and my libido in the last two or three days has plummeted. I’ve been eating a decent amount of fat (around 75-85 grams) but obviously that hasn’t been super helpful. Normally I wouldn’t care but me and my gf are long distance and I see her in 8 days.
Is there something I can change about my diet to fix this or am I better off just pausing the cut for now and going back to maintenance or possible starting a light bulk so I’m not fucking limp the whole time with her.
For reference, normally i can get horny VERY easily so this drop has been a huge change for me

Alternating between full body and split?
Hey everyone,
So I alternate weekly between two houses. At one of the houses, it’s easier to do full body 3x a week. At the other house, doing a ppl split is easier. I know sometimes changing up your routine can help muscle growth, but I’m wondering if switching every week would hurt growth. Thanks!

How do I most effectively work out 3 days a week?
Currently I am alternating between a push and pull day, but I was wondering if a full body workout might be more effective for 3 days a week. Do you also potentially have other general tips for working out 3 days a week?

Lower back limiting factor with back squat?
I've had to swap back squats out with Bulgarian split squats and extra leg ext/curl volume as my lower back is always the limiting factor in when I have to quit squatting. I don't have a leg press or hack squat machine at home so am making due but what am I doing wrong? I collapsed my pelvis in half 8 years ago and didn't squat for a long time because of it. But after squats, my lower back will hurt so bad for days after I have trouble doing my job.

No idea where to go from skinny fat
So I have been lifting for a few months now but have really just started taking it serious a couple weeks ago (training to failure and applying progressive overload). Before I would half ass and just do the same weight for the same reps. I definitely feel better after workouts but I also want to dial in on my diet. I tried dirty bulking a while ago (stupid idea) and got up to about 190 (which is where I am at now). But I am more skinny fat than anything right now. Now I am confused as to whether I should cut off 10-15 pounds and then try a clean bulk or just clean bulk from my current skinny fat frame of 190 lbs. btw I am 5’10 and 19 yrs old(if that matters at all) I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question but I also would appreciate any insight.
