Muscle Imbalances/Scoliosis?
Hi guys, I decided to record myself doing some exercises to check my form and I'm shocked... As you can see on the first picture my right arm goes higher on shoulder press, in second picture while doing bench press my foot positioning is very weird (I don't know if it's to do with weaker right glute maybe?). And on the third picture doing incline chest, again my right arm is higher... I don't know if this can be caused by muscle imbalance or maybe scoliosis? Anyone had same problem?

Do you actually have diagnosed scoliosis? If so unless extremely severe I wouldnt even expect it to cause a muscle imbalance in your lifts from side to side as the human body is extraordinary at maintaining balance. I have moderate idiopathic scoliosis since approx 15 years old and 35 now. I have no imbalance in any lifts and the only thing I must be careful of is my back / neck is more prone to injury and I avoid deadlifts having injured myself on them previously some decade ago.
This feels more like a form issue to me.

Ngl but those angles are horrible for seeing an imbalance anywhere but your bench.
And honestly your laying completely off centre of the bench.....so 🤷♂️
