should I change my squat to deadlift ratio?
Hi all,
Since going on TRT about 9 months ago I've seen steady strength gains with (thankfully) no recurring injuries. For quite a while my squat was my strongest exercise, and only recently my deadlift has started to catch up. However my knees have recently started to get really noisy (crepitus crackling) while squatting even though there isn't any pain. I worked through a clicking/pain phase in my knees over the summer at around 240 lbs. but I worked through it and my strength jumped up pretty easily. However 285 still feels really heavy for deadlifts, and maybe I've moved up too fast for my knees and they're starting to complain. Not sure.
Anyway do you think I should re-adjust my workset weights? I'm doing these weights below for 5 x 3. I'm still doing the novice program using the Starting Strength app. by the way.
Deadlift: 285
Squat: 285
Bench: 215
Pclean: 170
Press: 160
