Yes I think there’s a muscle imbalance, it’s very close to my bench also. I have a freakish back but shit front though

Anyway these stats are insane for only 4 months
 
Eat more and increase the weight in small increments like add those very small plates you see to continually increase the weight.

I have trained before but only reached 60kg when I was 14-15. My dad is also stronger than me and lean with muscles (for his age) for no reason. My weak side is my chest really but thanks

Yeah I haven’t seen my weight change in a bit. From starting I have gained like 9 pounds but it’s muscle 70% of it. Think that’s what causing it

Lmao I mean it looks bad like I don’t train it. Maybe it’s because of my shoulder dominant bench somehow
