    The real question is, why is my bench heavier than my squat?

    When my squat was higher than my DL it was because I held the bar too far forward from my shins at the start of the pull.

    If you lock out your deadlift above your nuts, you might just have long nuts. Sorry, that joke was low hanging fruit.

    He could be more helpful if these questions were more specific. What kind of rack pull? Are you definitively hitting squat depth? What’s your bodyweight (big gut guys often squat more than they deadlift), are you pulling conventional or sumo?

    Could be a bodyweight thing. Look at all the 275lb and above powerlifters and some of the 231s, they have bigger squats than deadlifts. It just easier for big guys to squat than it is to pull. If you're small then this is definitely an abnormality.

    Ronnie Coleman said it's because the bar is higher and gravity is lower. Makes perfect sense if you think about it. IDK man it feels like some people are just out to over-complicate fitness.
