howdy guys! i'm soooo new in this forum as well as bodybuilding. been working out since past few months & need some advice from u gurus. i think i hv a problem with my shoulder growth since i couldn't lift enough weight. i bench 45kg (toldcha im new) but could only do 6-7kg lateral raise. is it normal?

there isnt a ratio to bench/shoulder press/lateral raise poundages, or any other lifts for the matter.

take those numbers as your baseline and try to improve them over time, either with reps or poundage.

heavy is relative, what is heavy for you might be light for othersand vice versa. dont seek to copy other people's poundages. you can make them as your goals, though.

if you want a goal for presses, try hitting 1x your bodyweight for starters. after that, the sky's the limit.
