I squat a good bit more than I can deadlift on a 1 rm.


Anybody else like me? I see streng charts always have deadlifts at more weight for training rating.

    I deadlift way, way more. My squats are terribad. I'm actually around 2x higher on my DL.

    I spend more time on the variations of either,

    At the moment my squat and deadlift are the same 90kg (198lbs).

    My trainer thinks once I get my grip issues sorted I'll be able to deadlift at least 110kg (240ish lbs) though.

    Usually people deadlift more. But not always.

    Brian Schwab for example, had a 765 squat, 606 deadlift. (http://orlandobarbell.com/about-brian-schwab-2/)

    p.s., that was at 148 lbs body weight, WHAT?!

    I deadlift about 25% more than I squat.

    I can deadlift more. I need to catch up with the squats, but I just love deadlifts! :blushing:

    I deadlift a lot more than I can squat. 155 dl 115 squat. I also added weight on to my deadlift way faster.

    Haha! Someone remembers! My husband started calling me Radiskull after we saw the video because he says I am mean and it just stuck. I have tons of love notes from him that start out "Dear Radiskull...."
