I'm 6'1", 175 body weight. And I am benching about the same as I can squat. Wtf. My 1RM on bench is 275 and for squat is 275-285. Trying to fix this. All help is welcome

    Probably just have less strength in your lower body than you think. If your on a progressive routine and stick with it long enough, eventually it will change. I know many people with same issue. Pretty common. Could be mobility issues too. How long have you been lifting?

    I've been lifting for about 3 years. I have poor mobility in my right ankle due to an injury. Besides that my mobility is fine, I usually squat atg. No problem hitting depth. But I am doing Wendler 5/3/1. Hopefully it'll help
