Not sure if the entire insertion is missing, been years since I saw him with no top on and he doesn't really train, so no huge looking imbalance...but I do remember it looking a little strange in certain positions.

Guess that's another testament to my argument that bench press is not first and foremost a chest exercise...people without a pec can still do it, albeit with limitations.

My mate has very large triceps/arms. lifetime of compensation.

I've got the same thing, just assumed it was from injuries haha some people say its normal, some say its from injuries/imbalances.

My physio didn't mention anything about it when I was having my shoulder treated, so it cant be that much of a big deal.

I'll mention it to mine when I'm there next. I "think" I badly strained that shoulder many years ago in a high speed roller blading accident, yes I know.... lol

The body is assymmetric in many ways; one of the big issues competing bodybuilders face besides trying to put on the muscle and make it look good. Symmetry is often a judging criteria.

It's quite normal to have a natural imbalance like one shoulder sitting higher than the other. If it's because of a concurrent injury, then that's a different story. But if your technique is symmetrical, with no weaknesses on one side, or chronic injury on one side, I wouldn't worry about it.

My brother is missing a pectoral muscle or something and it causes his shoulder to slump on one side lol

I don't have even ROM on bench. I will be sure my grip is even on the bar but I run out of arm travel on the right (lower shoulder) side before the left.

Interesting. Still no big deal as long as it doesn't cause injury and you have no issue retracting your scaps to position yourself safely on a bench. It may lead to slight muscle imbalance aesthetically, I don't really know, but not a big impact on your training other than what you've mentioned. I have a long pelvis that sucks a bit for lifting with my lower back, as I believe ye olde torque principle applies here.

The more pressing issue for you, is telling your parents you're gay (rollerblading).

i have a heart condition........

Rollerblading was the bomb, a lot faster than skateboarding.

I think I still have an old pair floating around in a box somewhere.

I confess I still have my K2 Moto Xtremes with all of 10 uses on them. That's $50 per use!

never got into skating of any sort.

[Birds]

Don't need bearings when you already have ABEC 9s and 100mm/90mm staggered

[No Crust Racing]

Can't remember what theyhad standard but remember upgrading to ABEC somethings and feeling like I'd just hit NOS.

Getting pretty ghey in here with all this fruit booter talk.

I'm a skater (skateboard) rollerbladers are my mortal enemies haha

I don't have even ROM on bench. I will be sure my grip is even on the bar but I run out of arm travel on the right (lower shoulder) side before the left.

Interesting, Both your arms the same length?

I have pretty even rom I think, one side is obviously weaker than the other though.

[No Crust Racing]

Fruit booter LOL haven't heard that in years. f**king skegs.

No idea about arm length, never measured.

[Birds]

I see we've attracted the attentions of a wood pusher...

[Trozzle]

I've got a pair of K2 Camanos, used em like 4 times lol. Got em second hand off an old workmate who'd also used them only a couple of time hahaha...just not quite my thing anymore.

I'm with Mitch on the bodyboarding though, holy shit is it the best way to spend time in the surf! Haven't done it in a while though, but have 4 days down the coast with housemates mid next month so definitely taking it with me

Currently at 937km of riding done since I bought my bike. Most consistent cardio I've ever done lol. f**king loving it, but still neglecting lifting big time particularly since it's been so farken hot lately!

[No Crust Racing]

Body boarding requires being in the ocean, sharks live there.

No.

[-FIGJAM-]

hahahaha sharks

[Trozzle]

Have been run into by a dolphin once, moments after spotting a couple of dorsal fins pop up a bit further out. Bricks were shat lol

[No Crust Racing]

I literally would have shit myself.

Literally.
