Is It Right If My Squat Is Heavier Than My Deadlift? - Starting Strength Radio Clips 

deadlifts are brutal!

It’s so random 😂

Mmm Mmm love me some Vietnamese sausages

Please note that here is nothing about sexual intercourse or trans sexuality implied, don't even know why anybody would come up with this.

what are they??

Isn't Vietnamese sausage dog penis?

To be fair - nem nuong is delicious

What does this mean

@@jc.barquinero It means trying to use your legs as much as possible, rather than your back. A good example of this to the extreme is a stiff legged deadlift vs conventional. With a stiff legged, you can't use as much of your legs which is why you would be weaker on it. The conventional deadlift on the other hand allows you to get further down, which recruits more glutes/hams as well as your quads off the ground. Many people say a good cue is to imagine driving your heels through the floor when deadlifting.

yes, im not sure why thats even a question

@@lequack7130 Because it's hilarious

Just keep adding 5# to the deadlift and 10# to the press each cycle 😂🍻

I can shoulder press more than squat. Does it count as squat if I'm upside down?

I can curl more than I can my deadlift.

Keto is unnecessary tho . You could lose weight more comfortably by eating carbs.

@@suvamsivam4136 I've been sitting here contemplating that very issue right now. Going on my past experiences it's been very successful for temporary weight loss but never for strength training. I'm putting off going back to the gym until I've lost my goal weight but it's extremely slow and it's kinda miserable. At the same time I really don't see the point in eating reasonably and going back to the gym, putting more fat on during LP and then having to tediously cut while hopefully maintaining those gains. All that is IF they don't release a "2nd wave" of COVID in the fall and close the gym again. And I'm not getting fat.

There are plenty of Olympic Weightlifters who've squatted more than they've ever pulled (myself included). This guy could be squatting high bar, have short legs and be quad dominant. Plenty of weightlifters are. Though if he's following Starting Strength, maybe not...

@@raptors4444 I know there are people who can do it, I'm just saying I've never had one of my athletes do it. At least, not that I can recall of the top of my head.

@lonelee I didn't start deadlifting until after high school. The first time I ever deadlifted I did 275, and that was the only time my squat was bigger.

It's very possible if the person's grip is weak. Alot of elite powerlifters have higher squats than deads.

my parralel squat is about 5lbs heavier than my deadlift right now. Around 530 and 525. But I just started 2 months ago again

Nah , do rows on every workout and put in extra work on your posterior chain

Have you been watching me in the gym?

@@jwatson181 the starting strength program reccomends deadlifting 1 set of 5. No secret agents watching you!!

@@brushogun2051 hence, the self depreciating deadlifting joke!

I'm doing five by five on the deadlift and I am progressing fine. Ten pounds added every workout. I also just started a month in so will see how fast I plateau. I don't understand the logic of doing accessories do get a better deadlift, I think you should be deadlifting If you want to improve your deadlift.

Pink lobster man

Now you've pointed it out I can't unhear it thanks

Maybe if you can't tell west Texas from Tennessee hillbilly...

@@contrabone Is Ramsey from Tennessee or Texas?

@@SuperBizalz TN

@@contrabone I'm from Nashville so Rip doesn't sound anything like Dave Ramsey to me.

I think I can bench more than I squat, but it has less to do with body mechanics than with the fact that I've trained like an idiot for a long time.

@Frank Burjan No question. There were some hip issues, but I mainly got into a groove where I was using my legs for slow-twitch work and my upper body for fast-twitch. I'm seeing some progress now that I'm working the big compound lifts.

@Frank Burjan Those are my main focus (along with vertical and horizontal pulls). I'm not a power lifter, but I'd like a better balance between lower and upper body. I've worked on mobility through the pelvis, and I can now get to parallel or slightly below on the squat. Now it's all about getting low and letting the muscle get acclimated.

@Frank Burjan Good advice. I'll keep grinding. Deadlifts tomorrow.

@Animenian Uzumaki You need to take it straight with bcaa to get it into blood instantly. Duh!

spare your advice.

@@everydaywarriors you spare your advice 😂 2 year old comment... Worked for me, I've done a 250kg low bar squat since then, bench is 140kg+ and DL over 200kg+... You know, real life natty not internet juicey numbers. I'd say 5x5 worked a treat during covid and 2023

Especially the Vietnamese ones.

Dude shutup

0Beyonder0 dude, sign up to a gym and retire your internet troll profile here, nobody cares of you!

Do you hit depth? Curious for real, not trolling..

This is me. I have really tight hamstrings. 450 squat and maybe a 405 deadlift.

So do RDLs as a light day lift alternative?

@@GhettoFabulousLorch or good mornings, both are solid

Rip's pr dl and pr squat are less than 30lbs difference

It doesn’t matter. If you squat more than you deadlift it’s fine or deadlift slightly more it’s all good. As long as it’s not by like 100’s of lbs

Weak hamstrings.

@@Jk-zv6tz I am starting to think it is more my age. I am close to 50 under 200lbs....so I guess I should just knock it off before I get injured!😞

@@a.f.s.3004 Da feck? Hell know. You can still get strong as hell in your 50a.

Same

twice

@@molozful thrice

Not really if you train right.

Two examples don’t make it common. It isn’t.

@@Captainrave Dave Waddington (first man to squat 1000 in competition), Ed Coan (the greatest ever), Rickey Crain and a man I trained with in Virginia in the early 80's John Gamble, the number 1 ranked 275lb. lifter for two years.They all squatted MORE than they deadlifted. I could go on and on. For me to say it's "common" doesn't mean that it's the majority. Those are two different words with different meanings but I could hardly expect a person that uses "ain't" to know that.

@@randystevens6302 Don’t forget Ray Williams too.

wow thats actually wrong as hell

Chrontard i pull sumo pre corona at 225 kg with straps after that i stopped training for a month and i restarted at 140kg its more like detraining and recently hit a front squat pr At 165 kg lul

Imaginary internet numbers.

You might be training or eating improperly

Lots of reasons you could be lagging. Maybe the dude is a lot larger than you, for instance. But if you're 20 and have been training for "years," I'd expect you to be pulling at least double your bodyweight by now. The numbers he gave (369 deadlift, 390-something squat) are not super awesome even for a 53-year-old.

@@geoffbischoff816 been lifting for 2.5 years 6ft2 196lbs and only have a 264 squat ; 352 dl ; 126ohp ans 176 bench for 5 , i'm still trying to gain weight but don't know why i struggle so much

@@im_reyz8780 First, good on you for sticking with it and continuing to try. Second, you're young. You're an adult, but my body was still developing into my 20s. Third, and probably most important, get a good coach. I'm not a certified coach in any method (though I try to help friends, and I use the Starting Strength method when I coach novice friends). I coach a friend who is your same height and weight (but he's 30) who has gone, since January 2020, from 105-370 (squat), 175-375 (deadlift), 65-150 (ohp), 105-260 (bench). That's 8 months of work, brother. As a coach I expect I'm Grade C at best. Find yourself a Grade A coach. For certifications, I'd trust anyone with a SSC cert to get me strong quickly *if I complied with the program.* Go kick ass man.

Wrong. Try lifting.
