Question on ratios between lifts
Question on ratios between liftsI started the stronglifts program today and it felt great but I felt something was off between how much weight I was lifting throughout the exercises The exercises (with weight used) being Squats-80kg (175lbs) Bench press-50kg (110lbs) Barbell rows-40kg (90lbs) I'm obviously no expert but the ratios between the weight seemed off to me Stronglifts (the website and the app) suggested the following weight for starting out for this particular day Squats-80kg (175lbs) This gave me no trouble. Only the last two sets left me exhausted but it was understandable. Bench-70kg (155lbs) Barbell rows-80kg (175lbs) I know this is only suggested and that the program has to begin at my ability level but I attempted these just to see if I can even lift it and low and behold, I couldn't. So I went down to 50kg and 40kg to bench and rows, respectively. For bench I tried doing 55kg beforehand but I struggled to finish my third rep so I went back down to 50 to have good form and make it through the workout. For rows I attempted 50kg but the same thing happened. Now I am a beginner, and I haven't lifted consistently for a while so I'm not sure if the ratio between these three workouts seem right. But then again I may be thinking about it too much and everything is fine for now. submitted by /u/HeroWithNoPower [link] [comments]
