Low squat problem - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hp-20 · 29-09-2007, 09:16 PM

My squat is way lower than my other lifts

Bench 120
Deadlift 160
squat 70

Whats going on here lol, my legs arnt small nor weak, i can max out the leg press machine and leg extension and they are in proportion to the rest of me.

could be a few things, weak posterior/core etc, weak hams?

Try some good mornings to help maybe, but follow that link, Justin is without doubt one of the top PL'er's in the country.

i bet alot is down to technique,

to squat effectivly and with alot of weight form and technique plays a huge role,

if you can get a vid of yourself squating up

Those numbers look pretty proportional to me.

Everyone is different in terms of body shape - some are suited to squatting, others are suited to deadlifting.

It also depends on how deep you go on squats.

for someone with a 160 deadlift i would expect more than a 70kg squat

Oops - I mis-read - thought the squat was 120, not 70!
