Caporegime
More than likely, I just don't like mixed grip, but for one attempt I may be able to get away with it

I keep on reading "double overhand" as "double overhead" and nearly fainting

Rock climbing. Seriously, my grip strength became so good as a result.

I do hanging to improve grip strength.

He's got two extra powers to fuel his strength though mrthingyx - youth, and small geezer syndrome!
Crikey - you are the size of my leg!
No way I could do nearly twice BW on bench! Srs strength - shame it's a gash lift.
My strength isnt too bad , i lift on par with my gym buddies who are 30+KG heavier than me.
Iso lat pull down = 130KG
45 degree leg press = 210kg
Squat = 100kg
Bench = 90kg
dumbell press = 38kg (each arm) is a PB but currently on 36KG for better form
Shoulder Press = 24kg (poor really im rubbish with my delts/shoulders)
Deadlifts = 90kg
dumbell Bicep curl =20kg(each arm) but 22kg is my PB
just to name a few key lifts.
I really struggle with delts, any good excercies except face pulls and rear delt row?

OHP would be a good start for delt work, followed up by the pressing and rear delt work. Although, having deadlifts on par with your bench is quite odd
You, sir, have broze for gym buddies: my mind is blown by the fact you can bench more than you can deadlift, and that your dumbell press is 38kg a shoulder but your strict shoulder press is 24kg.

Shamefully not been dead lifting long probably a year same goes for squats. Its certainly odd but I was pure bro at first erry day chest day
Also i cant do 38kg a shoulder lol thats chest, Its worth noting I can shoulder press 30kg dumbells but I refuse if I can't get them up myself so im on 24s atm. Again my delts let me down

That bench, you really should start squatting and deading more. Could end up with some incredible ratios!
Man of Honour
And stop doing iso pull downs and start doing some chins/pull ups!
Yeah, i squat twice a week and deadlift once a week currently
Not done these in a while enjoy both to be fair.
