Long femurs = lowbar squat= more weight. I have short femurs and therefore I have to squat highbar, otherwise its impossible to hit depth and not fall over without rounding my back and then have lower back issues. I also pull sumo. I'm 6'1 and just turned 23. My squat is 230kilos, my bench is 160kilos and my deadlift is 290kilos. He is right but he was wrong with saying that long femurs give you a more upright squat, but your long femurs allow you to squat lowbar and therefore have a stronger squat imo

[@chaosdweller]

[@rocklee1488]

Can someone clarify this for me? Length is relative, so short femurs means long torso, and long femurs means short torso. Tibia length is irrelevant to your big three leverages. With long femurs, conventional deadlifts will be easier because your torso is short and upright, and your glutes and hamstrings are stronger and more engaged since you are sitting back more. With short femurs, sumo should be easier since your torso is long, you want to be in an upright position to negate that limiting factor. For squats, long femurs causes you to use your glutes and hamstrings as well, which makes low bar easier and stronger. short femurs causes you to be more upright, which means high bar squats should be easier. I don’t see how bench is affected by the length of your lower body or torso, but I would assume the length of your arms for range of motion, the size of your rib cage for ROM, and I’ve heard broad shoulders helps but I’m not sure why. Supposedly weight also matters by reducing rom, but I’m not sure how increased fat affects leverages exactly. If you have both long femurs and long torso, you are just tall, and the inverse is true for being short.

I think the most common source of people squatting more than they deaflift is Starting Strength convincing people they need to do 1 set of 5 for deadlifts every other week and 3 sets of 5 for squats every other day.

[@do_odman]

I doubt it. Squats are generally gonna grow the mess out of the deadlift. The deadlift's just not that technical. Though, I agree people should and definitely can afford to deadlift more, even if it's sumo, stiffleg, and rdls for disadvantaged lifter.

[@overratedfool6900]

That's nonsense. As a beginner myself (11 months), I feel like even I'm qualified to respond to a comment about a beginner programme. I've been squatting mostly twice a week and doing less frequent DL work (some RDLs, some actual DL). I almost pull (170kg) my squat (100) and bench (80) combined. It took me nearly 6 months to even manage to squat to depth (parallel) with any amount of weight and only recently have I acquired the flexibility to squat to depth with no bar (it's so much more comfortable with a plate on my back to help me get down). I tried just walking out from the rack with 120kg the other day (with no intention of trying to squat it) and my back hurt in about 5 places. It felt crazy heavy. The thought of somebody squatting more than they DL hurts me to even think about. I could probably squat twice a week for the next 5 years without ever DL and still pull more (my quads[/grip] are the limiting factor on my DL anyway). Some people just aren't built for certain lifts lol, and I'm only 6ft1 so hardly an extreme example (6ft6 wingspan).

Honestly, I think it's just his form. Look at it, he is trying to pull everything with his back and no leg. The deadlift is primarily a leg movement. Doesn't mean you have to squat it, but you can't just pull with your back and expect good results.

[@haVocHWC3]

My numbers (so far) for squat, bench, and deadlift are 575lbs/355lbs/635lbs. I trained deadlift and bench much more early on but have always thought that my squat would be my best lift if I trained it more. Closing in on 600lbs for the squat now. I almost completely stopped going heavy on bench about 1.5 years ago because I had some kind of strain/injury in my right arm from arm wrestling that made pressing annoying. Can still hit 300 or so but I haven't pushed it.

I'm in the great squat and great deadlift crew. Long torso, short legs, short femurs relative to tibia, long arms. Sumo and squat I can do easily. Bench I'm pretty bad at. People always shit on sumo and say "it's not a real deadlift" yet conveniently ignore the fact that conventional is far better suited to the long leg, short torso crew. Someone with a long torso, and god forbid also short arms, is at an absolutely huge disadvantage doing conventional deadlift.
