    The real question is, why is my bench heavier than my squat?

  • @branaghtom
    @branaghtom Před 3 lety +31

    First time I've seen Rip not criticise the question

    When my squat was higher than my DL it was because I held the bar too far forward from my shins at the start of the pull.

    If you lock out your deadlift above your nuts, you might just have long nuts.
    Sorry, that joke was low hanging fruit.

    Rip, I lock my deadlift out over my nuts... But I don't know if that is because I have short arms or long nuts. Help!

    I have short legs and a long torso. Rip is right when it comes to modifying your squat a little bit.

    Why is my press lighter than my dumbbell curl?

    • @aavila1206
      @aavila1206 Před 3 lety

      Weak shoulders or lack of shoulder mobility (if your question isn’t rhetorical)

  • @maia3420
    @maia3420 Před 3 lety

    He could be more helpful if these questions were more specific. What kind of rack pull? Are you definitively hitting squat depth? What’s your bodyweight (big gut guys often squat more than they deadlift), are you pulling conventional or sumo?

  • @BLOEDVLEK
    @BLOEDVLEK Před 3 lety +7

    Could be a bodyweight thing. Look at all the 275lb and above powerlifters and some of the 231s, they have bigger squats than deadlifts. It just easier for big guys to squat than it is to pull. If you're small then this is definitely an abnormality.

      With numbers like that, I'm gonna assume it's not a 300+ lbs guy though

    More often than not either it's short stubby fingers or just a weak grip.

    Deadliftift off of 4 inch blocks if you have alligator arms.

  • @richardhunter9779
    @richardhunter9779 Před 3 lety

    Ronnie Coleman said it's because the bar is higher and gravity is lower. Makes perfect sense if you think about it.
    IDK man it feels like some people are just out to over-complicate fitness.

    • @mattmac4087
      @mattmac4087 Před 3 lety +3

      Ronnie said many things and fortunately for him we will remember him for his achievements not words. Well, except "lightweight baby" and few other phrases :p
