1. Way too little info. What's your split, excercises, etc? Diet?
2. Nothing wrong with you. I squat 205 & bench 255, nothing wrong with me..."Starting Weight" 3/21/08: 161 lbs
Weight as of 8/21/08: 173
Bench: 255 x 1
Squat: 205 x 5 x 5 :( Moving up though
Dead: 315 x 1 :)

Upper body strength/ chest strength lagging behind the rest of muscle groups?
Just concentrate on building up your chest muscles (pushups, bench, etc)...it'll come eventually.Obsession is what lazy people call dedication...

with a 165lbs press you should be able to bench 255lbs for 1 with no problem. obviously weak chest and weak triceps. bench more, try doing flies for chest and do dips/skulls/cgbp/floor press/heavy lockouts for tris. i would even recommend an arm day where you can concentrate on bis and TRIS.

I actually don't think that's abnormal. Bench is ALWAYS significantly weaker than dead/squat.Originally Posted by anaari

Take your weakest muscle and turn it into your best then. Priority priciple. your max bench should be atleast 250 with and overhead press of 165.
