re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

Just an update on the shoulder mobility - I focused on doing 25 shoulder dislocates daily with some other upper back and shoulder stretches. What I think made a difference though was I really took a deeper look at form videos for bench press and decided to widen my grip a few inches, and that made a big difference. I think I was over straining my upper arms and shoulders with too close of a grip and that was carrying over into the squat. I also widened my grip during the squat as well. I still felt some tension in there, but it wasn't painful to the point of me questioning if I should stop.

Next question. My focus is losing weight, primarily body fat (still around 31%, want to get down to 20%). I was working hard on progression because I am relatively weak all over. Is there more value considering my goals to hold on progression and work on increasing reps on the final set for a few weeks with the exception of deadlift, which I would continue to push weight up? I feel like for probably the first time in my life I have some actual foundation of strength. It's been 3 months of consistent progression.

Weight and reps on last set for most recent workout:
Deadlift - 160x9
Squat - 135x10
Bench press - 110x8
OHP - 85x8
