The first part of the first video is probably a bad idea for almost everyone. Anytime youve got your hand internally rotated and flexed... and youre using heavy resistance you better hope your mid trap, lower trap, and rotator cuff muscles are top notch.

For shoulders one simple move I could recommend is this:
Grip some light weights, maybe 15lbers. What you're going to do is try to lift the weight up to each side with your fingers while keeping your elbows dug into your ribs. So it kind of looks like a lateral felt raise except rather than lifting your whole arm it's just the forearms (bending at te elbow rather than at te shoulder). Just something I do.
As long as you realize that the muscles being recruited are above the joint being flexed, training becomes a little simpler. So in this case it makes sense to bend at the elbow to get to the shoulder rather than bend at the shoulder to get to the shoulder...with what I assume is heavy weight.
I don't know.

Gym has been a zoo for the past week. Its OD frustrating. Not just the copious amounts of people. But new people = no gym etiquette. No one re-racking weights. Dudes just leaving dumbbells on the floor and walking away. 
6 weeks is the usual time frame for giving up

I always think about how different my work out would be if i had a gym to myself.
Would probably yell more ronnie coleman style. Would never wear a shirt to the gym. Would rap/sing songs out loud (some times i catch myself mouthing the lyrics with my headphones in). I would def fail on lifts a lot more due to not having to worry about dropping weights. (my gym has a policy that if you drop weights you will be asked to leave, no its not planet fitness)

15 pound PR on my bench. Been benching a lot more lately but haven't tried a max in maybe 6 months. Can't believe that two yrs ago my squat and deadlift numbers were smaller than my bench is now. Lol

their vids are funny but at the same time educational.

This.
You haven't reached the point where it doesn't feel right if you miss a gym visit.

Yep.
Not even about just exercising and looking in shape. It's about setting goals and being stronger than you were the last day.

Setting "realistic" goals. Takes a lot of patients, "trial and error".

I hate that it takes so long to get into a good workout schedule, .. and when you miss one week it feels like you never been there

I hate missing two days in a row. I feel like crap, but I guess it's a mental thing.
