Just keep on going and try and find a buddy to work out with - it really helps with the motivation early on. I found that since I wasn't impressed with my numbers, the only thing that kept me pumped was competing with my equally weak buddy

I have been working out consistently about 6 months now. I could probably use more weights, but I usually don't feel my muscles working if the weights are too heavy. So I usually pick moderate-heavy weight, do 8-12 reps, lower the rest time, but I don't increase the weights very much. I can't bench press or close grip bench, my shoulder clicks when I do that, so I switch to dumbbells.
and also I suggest doing rotator cuff warmup in the beginning and at the end of your chest/shoulder workout if you can. It's better to prevent injury/pain earlier on.
