General rule of thumb for deadlifts

[user345008781]

I was just curious, how much more weight on average can one do with deadlift compared to bench e.g. 20kg more or 40kg or more? There's usually some kind of rough rule for these things.

Thanks!

No rule. They are totally different. Don't work any of the same muscles.

All i want to know is how much more people can dedlift compared to their bench.

It depends on the person. It can be 0 pounds or it can be 300 pounds.

Assuming balanced strength, here are some typical 1rm for different body weights. You can see the gap widens as strength increases.

Here's the metric version:

Cheers man, useful sheet. Although i feel weak now looking at that lol!

My bench max in high school - 195
My dead lift max in high school - 505

Now I don't know what either of them would be. Typically Dead Lift weight > Squat weight > Bench Weight though I know a lot of guys who bench more than they squat (lol).

[erebusii]

Even in a guy like me, who's relatively weak and untrained there is a difference.

My bench press: 135 ~ 140 on a good day.
My Deadlift: 220 lbs so far, with a pronated grip, not the alternating one some powerlifters use

I'd like to see my Bench at 200, Deadlift at 300, and Squat at 300. Will take some time lol

This article has a good idea of what your lifts should be.

well, i hate "what you oughta be doing" standards.

be concerned if your bench is higher than your squat and deads, thats about the only reasonable standard there is.

Not really. In healthy, well roudned athletes one most often sees something like this...

Deadlifts > Squats > Bench Press > Power clean/Strict Row > Strict Press

agreed...

Lets say 500lb deadlift.
I think you should have a 400-450 squat (on the lower side if it is a deep full squat)
300 bench press and 300 full clean
250-275 powerclean
200-225 press

every one is different so these could be + or - 10%

Check my sig, however I am built better for DL than benching.

[spot_skater]

Check my sig. and stats, as well.

Pretty much follows dead lift> squat> bench press> row> overhead press

[Emmortal]

Some people are just better pressers than they are pullers, and vice versa. Generally, however, dead lift weight should be higher than bench. You are incorporating a larger group of muscles to do the lift compared to the bench press.

70kg dif me.
