I was having problem with form with different exercises so I talked with my gym's PT,
basically I'm doing everything wrong with my scapulae (and one of them is slightly winging out),
to the point where I had to drop 3/4 of the weight I normally do and start everything again,
only to find out that the area inbetween my shoulders gets tired very fast and I can't do properly most upper body exercises.
>how do I strenghten the muscles in my upper back?
Also he made me go from 5x5 to this routine:
day 1
>bench press 8x5
>inclined bench press 8x3
>push ups 12x1
>pullover 15x3
>cables push downs 8+8+8 x4
>crunches n shit
day 2
>assisted back squat 8x5 (removed)
>45 degree press 10x1 (removed)
>free squat 15x1
>shoulder press 8x5
>free weights shoulder press 12x1
>inverse crunch 20x5
day3
>pull down 8x5
>pulley 8x1
>rear raises 12x1 (removed)
>curls 8+8+8x4
>pull over 15x3
>crunches 20x5
>plank
He told me not to squat when I told me I needed help with the form, I suppose for safety,
but fuck that I'll make him help me with that next time.
Should I ingore it and go back to 5x5?

sounds like you are being jewed for gains.
i would rather say keep doing 5x5 and add in some chin ups after every workout as well as some band pull aparts in between every push set and band/cable facepulls after every other workout.
im no PT though

I think the routing is targeting pretty much the same muscle groups, just with more isolation.
I would stick with 5x5 just because it's simple, but I'm not sure what to do since my form is shit.

This is why pts are not to be trusted. You're literally better off using internet forums and watching YouTube videos.
Do push ups, dips, and kneeling 2 armed landmine presses (i think "buff dudes" have a good video about this). This will strength your serratus anterior and improve scapular winging, assuming you even have it and your pt isn't just turbo retarded.

PT here. No, stick with your program. Not the weird one he created for you.
However, I highly suggest watching the video in this link. It's a good routine to make you (or anyone with shoulder issues) have better scapular/humeral rhythm and stability. These exercises are best placed after your actual workout.

Also, I'd like to add read How to Be a Supple Leopard. The author has excellent mobility drills and great ways to break up tough tissue that can restrict correct movement
