Joe, This kid never trained before going on this cycle. If he starts going into low reps, IMO, he is gonna snap something off.

I agree that lower reps increase the danger but hes not lifting extremely heavy weights. When I use to bench 200 lbs my form wasnt great and I never got hurt. Now my form is outstanding and I tend to get strains and pains more often because of the amount of weight. I agree that most of his sets should 12 plus reps and the only thing I suggested he raise weight on was core lifts bench, dl. I advised him to stay high reps on squats as they are the most often done incorrectly.

Now ya got it bro....YES....FORM > Weight. Stick to that! Lighter weights 12-15 reps. If your gym has a power rack you can set the side bars up to spot yourself. I'll try and find a video.
Theres nothing wrong with your shoulder workout bro, but i think theres too much shit in there. Try standing overhead barbell press. This is the one big shoulder blaster that hits everything. 1 empty bar warmup set to almost failure then light enough for 3-4 work sets to allow 12-15 reps.
HOWEVER....start with the arm circles and the rotator warmups with the plates you should have youtube'd. After the barbell press finish with some front and side laterals. If you want to do traps on shoulder day too then do heavy Barbell shrugs.

I really dont want to utilize machines for too much but i think i will start trying to incorporate one or two into my workouts now.. This will atleast allow me to rep till failure..

We got a pretty good machine for bench and even could be used for shoukder press where if you rotate the bar it automatically locks into place. I might start using it after a couple weeks, ill stick to "lighter" weights for a little bit longer so that i can build more of these stabilizing muscles and get the muscle memory started

The machine with the rotating locking bar your talkig about is the smith machine I am talkig about. other than that I didn't mention and machines. The power rack is not a machine in any way.

Yes i understand, im just sayin i know compound exercises are ideal. But that i think i can push myself harder on machines. Yes or no?

Sorry, I apparently misunderstood you before. I wouldnt rely on machines. I would stay with free weights and use weights you can handle. Machines will not strengthen supporting groups like having to control free weight will. Machines are ok to finish if you like, for example.

Chest: Flat BB or DB press. 4 sets 12-15 reps
Incline BB or DB press. 4 sets 12-15 reps.
Machine flys. 2 sets then a drop set

^^ just an example of using a machine to finish off your muscle group.

I wouldnt use it as your primary though.

Are cable flys better than machine flys in your opinion

No. Just different. Different angles to hit your muscles.
