Yeah. It's a goofy spot to be in. All depends on one's goals.

I do totally think that size will most likely come with just getting stronger in general would you agree? I focus mainly on heavy compounds in an attempt to get stronger but I do add in an accessory or two because some size on me is never a bad thing haha

Strength needs to be there before you worry about hypertrophy. I've never seen somebody with a heavy press have small shoulder.

With all due respect. I don't believe you're a genetic freak.

I wonder if the gym I go to uses pured barbells. Helps get the weight moving in the right direction.

Check the spine and rotation deflection paradox. Even if the bar is 45lbs, if the spine doesn't align, you're squats will be off. Also, Japanese forged barbells are far superior to US market barbells. That's a fact confirmed by the internet.
That's one thing I don't like about kettlebells- they're cast, so they're just a bit too clicky for me.

You need buttery kettlebells
Sounds like you'd need a lot of chalk for those.

Finally back in the gym after a little time off. I've gained back a lot of the weight I lost (thank you comfort stations!) and need to get the scale going back in the right direction. Squats, presses, and pull downs today and my brother joined me again. He seems to be more open to continuing to join me, so I think this will be good for both of us long-term. Now if I could avoid eating all of the delicious but horrible for me food that is showing up this time of year, I feel I'll be in a good place by the start of the year.

To meet the first goal, you need more calories. The flexibility will be taken care of lifting a full range of motion. Also, focus on the primary lifts and mix in assistance lifts. I can't help with the quickness/athleticism. That's genetic. But we can make you stronger.
Looking good with your shirt off, well, best quote for that, "A six pack on a skinny guy is like big t_ts on a fat chick."
