Maxes Balanced?

Training Beginners
1

At 5’9", about 200lbs., what would be consider good for each of my lifts. and also, i know my bench is low compared to my other lifts, but do you see any other numbers that look a little low given my other maxes?

bench - 220
squat - 305 (next week 315, hopefully)
dead - 435
clean - 230

thanks in advance

It would depend on how many years you’ve been training.

An experienced lifter benching only 20lbs more than his bodyweight sucks balls.

But if you started lifting a week ago, I’d be happy.

Do you want to be told “Wow you’re lifts are so awesome, you must be haayoooge”?

I hate these kind of threads.

Bench and squat are low. I don’t know about clean.

Those numbers are in alignment with your experience/size, nothing’s really out of whack. Keep lifting and you’ll be fine.

Sounds like you’re comparing yourself to wankers parroting off the “internet weight” they lift – if you haven’t noticed most people are full of shit.

Look in the mirror.

i don’t think i’m huge, or even big. i’m looking for any numbers that don’t match up, so i know what i need to work on. and if you hate these threads, why did you even post?

i hate these kinds of posters
