Hey guys,
I’ve noticed my bench press to squat ratio seems a bit weird. I feel like compared to my squat I should be benching more. Here are some bits of info
I’m ~162lbs / ~73kg
Bench: 235 (recently)
Squat: 390 (probably around 365 rn tho)
I can clean 280, if that means anything.
What are you guys’ ratios? Higher? Lower? Should I be heavily focusing my upper body? Idk!

My bench and squat were about equal for my first year or so. After that bench progress slowed to a crawl and squat keeps progressing. Current bests in my sig. I had previous gymnastics experience, which probably led to a disproportionately high bench press/squat ratio when I started lifting.
