Well got my deadlift max up to 285 today, so i can no longer say my bench is higher than my deads.perp69 said:My deads smoke my bench right now by about 210lbs. Seems like in general good deadlifters have weaker benches and versa vice due to the arms. I guess I would have a good reach though in MMA fighting.

I knew a woman who was a natty benchpress record holder. She was short, like 5'1" or so. Her dead was the suck too. Broad had benched 265 raw, couldn't pull over 150. I'm tall, I have a crappy bench, but I was outpulling her in the second week I did deads. Deadlifts are about body proportions as much as benches are.
What about trying squats?

Squat: 200x5

Work on form. Honestly, just keep hammering away at them. Focus on them, just like you did to get your bench up. If they don't fatigue you too much, pull twice a week. Box squats really helped me learn how to pull from a much lower position.
No real secret it is a marthon not a sprint keep plugging away week in week out and watch the numbers go up. You might want to tose in some rack deads to change things up a bit make sure you are adding to your lift either via rep or weight every week.Lextasy said:
