do you work a hard labor job as well. Or is it a desk job that makes a difference?

I work from home at a desk.

Very good consistency with this long. Keep up the good work.

looks good I agree. Bro I would switch up the reps. few sets lower reps 5-8 rep range few sets 12-18 rep range let the muscles see both

A key to progress

Thank you for that and all the wisdom you and the others are sharing. Those burner sets kick your butt hard after a heavy session it’s borderline euphoric.

Here is my mid-week update.
I was able to hit all my reps on flat bench but last few sets I was about 3" from the top of my chest on those, getting a huge stretch.
I feel like I have plateaued on incline bench for now and will work towards 8 reps over the next few weeks.
Third set of Arnolds was brutal 20, 10, 5,5,5,5 each with a short pause my rear deltoids and front deltoids hurt so bad after I lifted, pains gone now but I definitely can tell I worked out today.
