Haha i guess I set myself up lol
I tried to bench 315 for 1time but never could. Got up to 305 then injuries came.
I never messed with the deadlift until later in my life. Without training it I think I did like 335 once.
I used to squat 315lbs for 10 reps but stopped that long ago.
I turned more into an endurance guy doing my first iron man last year. This was due to BJJ and lifting injuries.
I was just saying is but the guy who put the calculator answers me well.
Don’t skip leg day lol.Your thoughts sherdoggers on.

Trap bar is great. My Dl was far and away my best lift in the past so now Im thinking of switching to trap bar although they don't have the high handle ones at my gym which i was looking for.Don’t skip leg day lol.
Seriously tho that’s a real imbalance. To be fair it’s often a technique problem with these lifts; if you are doing Iron Man you must have strong legs and a good core. It may be worth spending the money to have a session with a PT purely to show correct squat and deadlift technique.
I really improved my squat especially through some single leg ancillary exercises (lunges, reverse lunges etc) and posture work.
If you are worried about injuries and have access to a trap bar they are great too.
Yea DLs were my best lift but after I got back into serious training when I turned 30 I did a lot of research and decided that the risk/reward ratio just wasn’t worth it long term. Same with heavy back squats which like you I always found hurt my shoulders and rounded my back at the bottom. Every gym should have a trap bar and a safety bar tbh.Trap bar is great. My Dl was far and away my best lift in the past so now Im thinking of switching to trap bar although they don't have the high handle ones at my gym which i was looking for.
Also i now only front squat or safety bar squat due to back squats being hard on the shoulders.
Also i think its good to alternate from swiss bar bench and regular bench
