Hit 3pl8 deadlift for reps

idk, i do 50% deloads and my (currently 335lb) squat has consistently increased by 20lbs every 4 months. the gains aren't insane or anything but i can ALWAYS 5x5 my 1RM+5lbs by the end of a prog overload

I just started training legs and don't deadlift and can ass to grass 1pl8

sounds like your quads are lagging, learn to do front squats

worst post on Jow Forums

>1pl8
Please don’t post on this website until you reach at LEAST 2.5pl8.
Are people really proud of a 60kg squat now?

Idk what 1 pl8s worth over in tge states, but they're worth 20kg (44lb) here in Aus.

I'm currently deadlifting & squating 120kg (264lb) for 3x6.

Is this okay? How long before I get 4 pl8s either side?

>5 foot 70 lbs 60 year old woman is squatting only half a plate
>just eat and squat more!

not proud, just seems ridiculous to me as a noob

Yes.

the fuck i can squat 85 but can only bench 55 (and the press 45).

about two months into SS.

>2 months into SS
>not even lmao2plate squat yet

Eat more

What is your weak point in the lift? Like where in the movement do you struggle?

Without seeing you squat, try these things:
>work on abdominal bracing
>Load 3 plates up on the bar, unrack it, and stand there for 20-30sec. Repeat a few times, then try 85kg

If you can do a 85 kg atg high bar squat, you could probably pull off a 2pl8 low bar squat to paralell meaning youre within the normal range. Its a reason diddly is 1 plate more than squat in the 1/2/3/4 plate meme

i'm trying ;_;
but it's expensive and draining to have to think about food all the time. eating is by far the worst part of this otherwise great experience.

t. fatty

Hes right, assuming he's squatting low bar it's not necessary to go atg. Just below parallel stops your back from rounding and messing up the form (with low bar of course)

>struggles squatting
just get someone to record your squats, compare it with a bunch of reputable squat tutorials on youtube and if your form and everything is good, eat more and squat more often

i agree, i spent all my time on ss either tired or constipated. its just a fact of hardgainer life

>its just a fact of hardgainer life
>hardgainer
This meme needs to stop, do gomad and EAT at a surplus and you will grow.

you are a faggot who cannot read

>for reps

you people are idiots It means anything from 2 to infinity. It's totally useless as an expression.
I truly believe that it is used by people that can only 2 reps, to try to demonstrate to others and mostly to themselves that they are better than the shitty weak lifter they really are.

HOW MANY FUCKING REPS YOU STUPID IDIOT?

You probably have long limbs making it easier to pull than to squat. You also have weak legs which means your deadlift form probably isnt the best.

Keep training legs.

Not OP, but there are two places I struggle. Can you help pls

1. With high weight as I'm going down. I find it extremely difficult to keep braced the further down I go, and either end up failing the brace and hyperextending my lower back or not being able to go down low enough.

2. As I'm getting out of the hole, straightening up my upper body is slower than straightening my legs.

Learn to eat better.

I hit 2plate in my first month of lifting when I was 5'10 and 75kg.

How much do belts help with heavy squats?

At least I'm not alone. I can bench 85kg (183lb) for 5 reps but I can't squat it at all. I've been trying for a long time and I've tired everything. I'm 5 '8 and 83kg.

A bit. But you shouldn't be using a belt until at least 150kg.

If your squat is inconsistently lower than your deadlift you either undertrain it or are mechanically doing it wrong. As you said you train it 2/3 times a week I'd say your form is probably bad. I would brush up on some form videos. Mark Rippetoe is a good starter.

Slightly. I started to wear a belt and oly shoes after 3 plate. I only wear a belt on working sets so I still experience higher weights beltless.

Nobody going to comment on the valgus fault in OPs gif?

No because we're not 1st month DYELs who just learnt what valgus is

>can squat more than I can deadlift.

Life is truly suffering

isn't valgus literally just you squatting too wide/open as a workaround to inflexibility to hit proper depth?

What's a good ratio of squat to deadlift? I can deadlift 315 for 5 reps but only squat 245 for 3 reps. Is my squat lagging too much?

Is 3x5 diddly enough?

No

Pretty much same stats

>145 kg squat for reps
>grip gives out at 155kg deadlifts

Straps, retard.

Fuck straps

No you should do 10 sets of five at 85% of 1rpm
3 times a week

Unironically do GOMAD.

Hook grip, always hook grip.

Train your grip fag

>do 5x3 deadlifts at 3pl8
>do them clean and easy
>tear open all my calluses during my last set
>still have to do shit in the gym
I'm just going to start wearing gloves for deadlifts

>Can squat 160kg, front squat 140kgs but only deadlift 150kgs

No body cares about deadlifts anyway.

there is no fault. Maximal loads at elite level weight just aren't going to go up every time without the knees coming in, it's universally taught that you should do it to make a lift if you have to.

This, Squat is by far the most aesthetic of the 3 lifts.
