Just drop the weight I guess, you should be able to control them.

Just practice with low weight till you do it right automatically.I have them around 45 but the problem is the dumbbells aren't mirrored, they point in different directions when I raise them
They both facing forward but both hands are never really symmetric. I want the two dumbells to be in a straight line but they never are. My forearms always turn when I raise the dumbbell
You're probably lacking external rotation on one your shoulders. Don't force it. There's literally no added benefit of doing a shoulder press like this:
vs this
or even this
The first guy is doing it with externally rotated and abducted shoulders. Much tougher on the shoulder for most. Second guy is doing it in the scapular plane, which is a much more stable position. Last guy is using a neutral/hammer which is also a more stable position.
I lift like picture 2. When I lockout, my palms just face different directions. Heavy or light weight
Our bodies typically aren't symmetrical. You're probably lacking mobility on one side or have a structural limitation somewhere. Don't force ROM, especially with weights in your hands above your head. The shoulder doesn't like that. There are safer ways to regain mobility., by stretching and strengthening.

What you guys doing for hamstrings? I did some pendlay rows and felt my hams today. Made me realize I never feel it there
Right, agreed. Think it's all a journey to see what works and what doesn't.You’ll figure it out man. It’s not really that hard. Even if you’re eating too little and lifting hard you’re still gonna profit.
Just play around with it.
Haha man I can only imagine how things will be then. It hasn't even been a year yet and I'm so excited to see how things have gone. Going to try and post another progress pic on the 1 year anniversary to see how things are going.Imagine 5 or 10 years. I see old pics and laugh.
I'm still a bit new to this, is there a specific workout plan or workout you followed for 5x5? I'm assuming it's something that's not probably as easy to do at home and better for a gymYou can blow up (in a good way) since you’re new to lifting.
Idk what your goals are but I always suggest strong lifts 5x5 for your first year.

Ayeeee lol that's tough. I'm happy I finally found this thread haha.I was here the entire damn time
My dude went from being built like a 12 year old to having cobra traps
5x5 is good to build a base/foundation for your strength. Don’t stress too mucvjh over a program. Experiment and find what you like and don’t like according to your goal.
The most important factor you should be looking for first is enjoying lifting imo.
But if you really want a program, watch this and see the description
Sorry about Flacco btwAyeeee lol that's tough. I'm happy I finally found this thread haha.
