thanks for the help

Develop stabilizing strength for your core as that would improve your squat

you should do shoulder work and stop doing floor preses and do pause bench as that will imnprove your starting point in the bench

try deadlifting with smaller plates, strengthen your posterior chain to boost your dead

What would you recomend for shoulder in place of floor presses?

Wide grip bench presses to slightly blow collarbone and do pause reps. Military presses or side presses for vertical pushing.

Do you do rotator cuff work?

This lift is a recipe for disaster!!!

Wide grip–any benefit received is far outweighed by the potential cost

To just below collarbone–see above

I do like pause lifts for true strength improvement. Anyone who hasn’t paused in the hole while squatting is missing a very valuable strength gaining tool. Though I’m not fond of this with the bench. I’d rather see pins in the power rack.

Looks better than 90% of what I see other football players doing.
I would just do different types of overhead work for shoulders. You could even add a jerk to your clean.
You do seem to be prioritizing upperbody pressing over pulling though. I like to jump back and forth from a press and pull.

For example, I’ll start with chins, then go to bench press, and the do rows. This gives my back some time to recover.
