Okay my squat destroys my deadlift… I squat 340lbs and I can’t deadlift 335lbs if my life depended on it… here’s a video of my squat
is it possible I have some crazy muscle weakness? someone please assisttt
I’m no expert or anything but im pretty sure if your squat is stronger than your dl then hamstrings/posterior chain is a weakness
Have you tried the opposite deadlift stance? Maybe your sumo pull is higher. That’s a good looking squat.
There will be a reason for it. Something that the Deadlift requires that you’re lacking. It may be Lat or grip strength. Best thing to do is figure out where you fail in the Deadlift and attack the weakness. If it’s lockout you need more lat and glute strength. Off the floor it’s quads.
vid of deadlift please
Looks like a good squat from what I can see. What’s your training routine?
More info: I train with XArena, he squats more than me by like 50 lbs but I can deadlift more than him. I pull semi sumo, with my legs bout an inch from my hand. I don’t have long legs or anything, pretty normal build.
short arms?
If it matters
Age: 16
Weight: 155lbs
My arms are medium length, a bit on the short side i guess.
I think I may have weak hamstrings, but how can I go about correcting this?
I’m doing my own texas method type thing, i’ve put 60lbs on my squat in 12 weeks so far. How can I fet hamstring work in?
k no, you do not have weak hamstring. I have weak hamstring (Stucking in the middle portion of squat) and I can deadlift.
Then whata the problem smart ass?
By the way everyone. I can lock out ANYTHING i can get to 1" below the knees, problem is i cant get it there, but i have pretty strong quads, and theyre big (in my opinion, 24") too
My DL and squat are pretty damn close too. And my structure and weak points are very similar to yours.
More hamstring work never hurt (I’ve come to love good mornings), but I bet it’s largely a technique issue. I tend to get my hips too low and try to squat the weight up, which doesn’t work well.
You may also need more lat work to help you keep the bar close in, dragging up your shins.

I had a technique issue (same as yours) but I fixed it, my DL looks pretty good now. I think I may need some extra lat work, but I’ve been doing pendlay rows lately, trynna get to a 225x5 pendlay row by july, I have 175x5 so far, started em 3 weeks ago.
I think I may incorporate good mornings.
Anyone have any set and rep recommendations? Preferably really low volume… Would doing it for 3x5 increase the weight 5-10lbs a week, then dropping it to 2x5 when that stalls, and 1x5 when that stalls be good? once I stall on 1x5 I’ll take a week off of goodmornings and test my DL… Anyone think it’s a good idea?

Good mornings for me work when I do them very strictly with higher reps like anywhere from 10-20 reps honestly.

Higher reps?? D:
That’s definitely not what I wanted to hear aha
What set and rep scheme’s do you find pretty effective for complete strength with goodmornings? I couldn’t care less about size.
it’s assistance work - try 3x10, heavy and add as much as you can each time. But start conservatively, I used 135 the first time.
With stronger quads than hamstrings, you’ll have to really fight at first against the tendency to squat it up. At the bottom of the lift, you want your knees almost BEHIND your feet.
At least, doing them like that has been working for me. Others may have their own ways.
Oh okay. When I was squatting 280, I tried goodmornings and put 95lbs on the bar and I did like 3 reps and I thought my hammies were gunna snap… SO I’mma try 95lbs for 3x10
Maybe post a video of your deadlift, considering that squat wasn’t too flash. A DL video will help greatly
315 Dl…Horrible upper back rounding like wtf mang
Doesn’t seem like your legs are the problem. Maybe look a bit north
