Bell end Member 1271, 432 posts | Looking thorugh avatars and PB's and I often see ups and downs in Benching and Squat between different members, but one thing seems to be fairly consistent. Everyone seems to have a 200kg+ deadlift. A large proportion of those are over 250kg. How come people with relatively small benches and squats still manage to easily pull over 200kg? | ||

In answer to your question, I dont know LOL But for the majority, DL is their biggest lift. Even more so if they are unequipped lifter | ||

![]() abs by summer 2011? Experts opinions vary Member 290, 2552 posts | equipment? relatively big squat and bench may mean they are lifting equipped? Also, Many guys on here are strongmen, and tend not to train squat/bench as much as deadlift | ||

![]() some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | I personally think it takes longer to develop your squat than a decent deadlift. To some extent the bench. There is obviously tremendous variation in this. | ||

![]() Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | If you fail a deadlift its safe, if you fail a squat you may get squashed. Same with bench. So I think confidence may come in to it a bit. Plus a squat is a 2 part exercise. Once you've pulled a deadlift you can pretty much drop it down (under control) | ||

![]() The one in the guns and roses teeshirt. Member 171, 2462 posts SQ 272.5, BP 140, DL 245657.5 kgs @ 80.2kgs Eq | I deadlifted a lot less than 200kg when I started posting here. In fact my top deadlift was 122.5kg when I stated posting here back at the end of 2007. My top deadlift is now 212.5kg. Yay for progress. ![]() | ||

Convo dead lift is definitely back-dominant. Weightlifters seem to be able to get more legs into a convo dead lift than most (flexibility). | ||
