+1

your back looks much bigger then mine, but can't you only do a few pull ups?

Thanks for the reply.

I was actually directed to the last physiotherapist by the staff at my gym, but he didn't seem to have worked with any athletes. I'll check if I can find a better obe.

70 degrees was a bit exaggerated. I just tried to raise my arm by my side while keeping the core and upper back tight and I could get to 80 degrees. However, I can see a difference in how high my traps and shoulders sit. The injured (left) shoulder sort of point upwards and trap is tighter and sits higher. When I squat and do good mornings, I can't pull the left elbow as high up as the right I get tired in my left arm sooner. Sometimes by the last set, the arm gives in a bit causing me to lose upper back tightness.

What sort of problems am I facing long term?

No I think you should just hire a good coach and exactly what you are told for a year.

When resting the bar on my traps, behind the head (squat/good morning set up), I can't pull my left elbow as high up as the right, leavin the angles of the arms different.

Maybe I should keep the arms vertical to help keep chest up during squats? I read thr horizontal arms (elbows further up) makes it easier to keep upper back tight, but may be wrong.

So I think I have a slipped rib, couldn't do anything involving my torso. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm planning on seeing a chiropractor for this.

First bro-day since before I seriously started lifting: barbel curls, reverse curls, hammer curls, tricep extensions, leg press, leg curls, abductor machine, glute machine. I don't know how people do this stuff and not get bored. I didn't even count my reps for anything.

Of course, anytime I say such a thing to most people, they want to punch me in my face. Just the other day, my girlfriend gave me an ugly look when I complained that stuffing down a pound of salmon, two loaded baked potatoes, a pound of asparagus, half-loaf of cheesy garlic bread, and a fistful of chocolate-covered peanut brittle was difficult. She's all like "You can just eat whatever you want, as much as you want; how is that difficult? Most people would love to have that problem!" It was hard to explain to her why, but then I was like "You know how you get bloated and cramps and uncomfortable during your period? Yea, think about doing that to yourself on purpose, every day, for a few months." Actually, that explanation didn't really improve the situation..... eh, whatever..... all in the name of performance!
