With how much carryover shoulders get during chest and pressing movements I feel you don’t need as much volume
especially on someone like you who is very shoulder and trap dominant from your pictures
you would be better off super compensating on your other body parts
now I’ve never seen your legs are back when flexing but I have a feeling these areas could make
You more symmetrical compared to What we normally see out of you.
that’s just my take but again it’s hard to really pinpoint anything without seeing the full picture, lifting videos and how intense your sessions are. For all we know you could be training at an RPE of 6-7 on a lot of these movements with plenty of reps left in the tank and how you devote intensity and volume on your programming it’s a double edge sword.
Personally, if I have a strength I would focus on giving more volume and attention to other body parts. For example, my legs are my best body part, so I only train them 1x a week because I know my whole upper body is not as strong as my bottom. In the end it is really a personal preference, but I would rather someone have balance and be symmetrical then have a dominant upper or lower.
