I've started lifting regularly since almost 2 years ago. Then decided to try out Stronglift 5x5 and just started around August. So roughly, it's been almost 3 months now. And I guess I'm still way too early to complain or anything. Anyway, not complaining. Just seeking some advice here smile.gif

I feel like my upper body is way weaker than my lower body, so are there any advice for that? Whether it's nornal, or anything that I missed or can be improved? Or I'm just over thinking? I'm still new, so some insight would be helpful.

I'll just continue the routine anyway since it's only been like 3 months anyway. But if any of you guys have been following SL too, how long did you guys chose to stick with it?

Here my details:

Height: 164cm
Weight: 70kg

Current progress:

Squat: 127.5kg
OH Press: 40kg
Deadlift: 120kg
Bench Press: 72.5kg
Row: 70kg
Ps: currently have to deload on deadlift since I've already failed for 3 times

Hi bro,
Yeah, your numbers don't quite jive.
I suspect it is your back; Your back probably fail you first when you deadlift.

If it is the case, then focus more on the back loh.
It is one hell of a big area; lat, trap, lower back, etc.
You might wanna try various row variations, chin/push up etc.
Good luck.
