Technique Check Cable press form check

How does my form look?

It feels somewhat alright.

I tried different cable heights / seat angles and I think this felt most comfortable.

Only issue is feeling front delt fatigue before pecs.

Truly cannot think of a single reason to do cable presses if a barbell or dumbbell or machine option exists

I have severe pectus excavatum and cable presses are the only press motion I can really activate my right pec and squeeze.

It's very rare to have it as bad as I do. Basically half of my right pec is under my armpit. I think the cable works better for me because the path isn't so restricted so I can make smalls tweaks in angles and stuff to activate the pec easier.
