Okay, so i used to be an active member here, but for the last year or so have just lurked. About everyone i know at the gym has a higher deadlift than squat, then the next highest is squat, then bench. Seems to be consistant with most people.
However, my deadlift is about 50lbs less than my squat. I still cant figure out why this is. I have basically hit a plateau at 235 on deadlift. I cant do more than 6 reps or so because i feel my back wanting to curve itself under the load. (and being 6'2" i need my back lol). So needless to say i am definitely sacrificing gains from a safety standpoint. Why then has my squat just BLASTED up in the weight (knockin on 300lb door), but my deadlift is stuck?
cliff notes: deadlift is 50lbs less than squat, cant figure it out, driving me crazy.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot guys/gals.
