Does anyone have that link that shows the ratio of how much you should generally be lifting? It looked something like:Deadlift: 100%Squat: 93%Bench: 75%etc, etc....Obviously those numbers aren't correct, just an example of how the website laid it out.
this is relevant to my interests
Bump. It was just posted here a couple days ago, I copied it to a text document, but the son of a bitch didnt save
What do you mean?It depends solely on what you want to do.If you want to get stronger, then you're max effort days would be like 90-95% or so, and on speed days it would probably be like 50% or so.Bodybuilders would probably be doing around 65-75%.
>>462191I think you misunderstood, which I can understand because its not very straight forward. I should have pointed out that the percentages equals a ratio of how much you should be lifting.ex: deadlift 100% = 300lbsthen your squat should be 93% of that = 279and your bench should be 75% = 225Again, those are examples...
>>462227Oh, and NVM, I found it....This is what I was talking about:http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do?id=1823834
>>462227Oh, ok, you mean your testing weights.Well, usually it's deadlift first, but eventually it becomes less and less so as you get stronger, until eventually it's passed by your squat.
I didn't catch that thread about the lifting percentages, but this issue has been on the back of my mind for a while. Here's a link of what (I think) OP is looking for:http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do?id=1823834I was going to post a thread asking if these numbers are right, and where can I find a more credible source (like something research based).

It's really not important, everyone is going to have different ratios on the big lifts because of different body types. Trying to adhere to set standards is stupid.
