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

In your case what you can do is stay same weight until you are able to get 10 reps, except deads, keep that at 5.

When you can do 10 reps, got up 2.5 lbs.
