I’ve been a long time lurker of fit, started seriously lifting 3 months ago, and these are my stats from symmetric strength. Is it odd that my bench and OHP are so bad compared to people at my level and my deadlift so much better? Would I benefit from fixing this/ making it more even? And if so, how would I go about that?

I will never do SS I’ve made my own circuits that work fine and I’ve seen the shit SS has done to people.

What is the app?

Add dips, incline bench, and triceps work to your routine if you haven’t already
Jaxson Cox
Everyone has different natural strengths and weaknesses, but obviously if you became more rounded then it would be better for you in the long term.
Just add in more frequency to whatever specific lift you want to increase and voila, if you want to increase your bench then do bench, want to increase your OHP then do OHP.
Anthony Foster
Yeah I have 3x8 dips and 5x8 incline bench in my chest day and a fuck ton of tricep work in my arm day

Thanks user

This website is trash tier for upper body and goes by roiding standards. The OHP ratio is also way off and goes by retardtoe’s absurd standards.

My Press is only 40lbs behind my bench
Lucas Lee
that’s because your bench is sub 350 lbs
Jack Lopez
Of course it is, why would you get your bench that high unless you're a powerbloater?

Why won't my bench go up, its a slog to get it up every time
Jackson Scott
OHP doesn’t translate to bench
Lucas Jones
That's fine but it doesn't explain why I'm almost at 1000lb total and can only bench 170 for 5
Alexander Hernandez
Stop wasting time training OHP if you want a strong bench. Raise frequency and volume. The biggest jump I made from 245 5x5 to 315 5x5 in 8 months was after I went from benching once to three times a week.
Bentley Jones
Everyone has their own strengths and you'll probably always have them unless you focus on the weak lift to the detriment of everything else l, my bench is poor compared to everything else, OHP is decent, but my squat is way ahead of everything,

Bodyweight workout for 3 years. Finally stopped exercising like some circus meme and hit the gym in Jan of this year. Just hitting 2pl8 squat now

Gee I wonder why that could be?

i am pretty much the reverse of you because i can't get over my fear of fucking up my back with squats and deadlifts so i never push myself that hard with them.

Thankfully my disparities aren’t quite so far apart, buy they're still there. I’ve fixed my diet to have higher protein and added some intensity to my upper workout so hopefully that gap will start to close.
>t. Almost 4 months in, starting from nothing
Parker Cooper
Dunno if there’s an app, but the website is symmetricstrength.com. It’s a good resource, and will help prevent you from getting the retarded mindset that so many people here have about what is and isn’t DYEL
Jayden Powell
Its pretty simple. You dont bench often and with enough reps/sets/intensity.
Do smolov jr and you will 100% see results if you actually finish the program properly.
Brayden Flores
This is the bumpiest strawman I’ve ever read. I never said my lifts are fucked, I just was wondering why my squat and deadlift are much better than my bench and OHP. Also I don’t think I know more than proven programs, I just said I’ve gotten great results from my own circuits and I’m going to continue using them.

Been lifting for about 9ish months. Need to work on deadlift desu.

Fucking kill me
Nicholas Ross
How much you weigh? If I were you I'd work tris for a while
David Edwards
167lb, 5'9". I've been hitting dips a lot harder since first filling out symmetric strength a few weeks ago.
Kind of relieved to see it's not just my bench here relatively sucking dick though
Brody Cruz
Right when I first started I had serious issues pushing my bench past like 150 until I serious hit tris and front delts. Throw some Arnold presses and keep up with those dips and you should see big gains in no time flat friendo
Cooper Garcia
I can't raise my squat. Been this way since i started lifting. I think my glutes and hip muscles are the weak links. I mean a couple of months in my squat was way worse, but it's still jarringly behind other lifts.
I mean i do high bar ass to grass.
Yesterday i tried to do my pr set, but i was one rep short and felt my back work. Been waddling about for 2 days now from the doms, quads, hammies, glutes. Thankfully no back pain. In all fairness i see lots of vids where people engage their back in such a way, but i'm way too scared of snap city.
From lurking these threads, and from personal experience i've learned that what you're doing is not a pandlay row. I don't do them personally, just regular bent over rows, but every now and then i'll do one set just for the app.
Also, for everyone with lagging bench/ohp just do more chest and triceps accessories and raise ohp volume.
