My bench is stronger than my deadlift

[misterleader]

I have been benching about 8 months longer than ive deadlifted but only did it casually at like footy training and stuff... but since ive become committed to body building ive trained both the bench and dead equally but my max bench is 270 and my max dead is about 265... usually your dead is way higher than your bench does this pose any postural problems? i do have sore shoulder joints alot of the time and i can also only perform about 8 pullups with my body weight could this be the cause of shoulder problems?

if you look at me side on my shoulders are vertical but look as tho they are positioned to far forward on my body ... would strengthening my back muscles fix this because i hate that look

it will pass your bench like a VW bus on a mountain road once you get your form and workouts right. Prioritize the dead. DO deads first on back day and make sure back is the first workout in your split, not chest. Do some form checks here or on the internet for deads and bench (post vid). Your bench form could be aggrivating your shoulders. Are you squatting? height? weight? age?

Thanks mate.

Yer i am squatting also and its not very impressive either.

The three compared are like this:

Squat 225lbs for 10 reps
Dead 209lbs for 10 reps
Bench 200lbs for 10 reps ( although 1RM is higher than deads)

Il start prioritizing them too, il try and get ahold of a camera to film and get critiqued

Also stats are

6ft
195lbs - can see my abs if i tense and a bit when not tensed so probly 14% bf
21yrs
training for 12 months properly

do deadlifts with more weight and lower reps.. stick to around 5 or 6 reps for deadlifts. Also, do you use double overhand or hook grip on your deadlifts?

 

[misterleader]

double overhand....

that all looks fine. just make sure form is good and your lifts keep getting heavier.

double overhand....

it's easier to lift more with a mixed grip. Maybe try that out next time and see how it works.

your deads will outstrip ur bench given time and proper training methods dont sweat it
the rounding of shoulders i.e loo
king hunched forward im guessing ive seen that many times b4 especially in the 'everyday is national bench press day crew'
are you rowing sufficiently?
are you squatting?
are you military pressing?
these all have to be incorporated into a sound program to nprevent imbalances
yes we all want beach pecs and huuuuge gunz but train smart and effective maintain balance in your exercise selection read for a weekend youll get there m8 oooooh nearly forgot to recommend madcow5x5 geocities site fantastic for all training methodology its long but well worth the time

a bigger upper back, traps and rear delts might fix the shoulder being too far forward so would making sure you stand with a good posture.

when your deads get stronger you wil no longer be able to do double overhand so switch to hook grip or mixed grip.

Deads should be in the 3-6 rep range not 10 reps
