my lifts..and what they should be??

**Bigpup101** · 12-13-2004, 10:16 PM

Whats up guys i'm sure there are tons of threads on this but i was just trying to get an idea of what my lifts should be around...i've come a long way from where i started a couple years ago but i still feel weak in some of my lifts...

my flat bench i'm happy with 405lbs. x 2-3 times

squat definately needs work..275 x 8-10 times

and i dont know what my deadlift should be around but it's at 405 x 4

do these sound proportional?? thanks

you need to give a little more info, bro. Training history? Personal stats?

your squat is very low compared to your bench
i squat about the same as you but i only bench 300lbs for 1rep

your squat should be similar to your deadlift

what are you r stats bro. height and weight?

I agree squat is low. My bench is 340 (raw), squat around (don't like to max squat) 480 to just below parallel, dead is at least 460 (using straps). I am 5'5 and weigh 175 give or take. 35 years old.

Have you ever used chalk. Much better, doesnt leave burns like straps do. Also, it helps with grip and forearm.

No worries.. as long as your legs are growing...dont worry about the weight
