TweetShould your lifts (Squat, Deads, and Bench) be in the same weight range? I want to add more of a powerlifting aspect to my training but I don't want my body to become unbalanced so to speak.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Much thanks in advance.

TweetTypically, your squat should be highest, then dl, then bench. Although, this depends on your weight/leverage, I know of a several guys whose dl is a good bit more than their squat.

Not always the truth here. DL's should/could be the heaviest when it comes to power, followed by your squats and so on.
TweetSo how much heavier should they be? 10..20..30% I know it depends on lots of variables but can someone ball park it for me?
BTW, thanks for the replies.
TweetWhen I was first introduced to weight lifting I was told that your Squats and Deads should be about double you bench. That was a long time ago. Obviously, there are guys who can bench close to the heaviest deads and squats. Not exactly, but pretty close.
Mine were always deads, then squats, then bench. My heaviest dead was 6 something, sqates were just behind at 6 something and my bench...well...it was 3 something. I don't lift for max anymore. I'll do sets as low as 3 reps but that's it. I work more for form. If my form is compromised I lower the weight. I'm too old to be doing the crap I did when I was young.
