another 3x5 question

[coreyb]

I've been doing the 3x5 for a couple months now and I'm loving it. However, I read that your bench and row should be pretty damn close to one another. My Bench is at 120 and my row at 100. If I keep my progress going at the rate I am, all my lifts will go up but my row will never catch up because I bring them both up the same amount of weight.

So I was wondering if I should keep my bench at the weight its at until my row catches up then keep progressing?

They will catch up, trust me.... your bench will stall before your row most likely, and give it a chance to make even. Keep progressing both of them, and it will happen on its own.

I wouldn't even worry about it as long as you keep adding weight. When you stall sometime in the future THEN worry about weak points and working through them. For now, eat rest and press through!

My Pendlay row is usually about 10% below my bench. So long as they're in the same ballpark then don't worry about it.
