    I've been noticing lately more and more that my lifts are becoming very disproportionate, and i was wondering if this is a bad thing, common thing or just something that happens and im not quite sure if it even matters at all or how out of whack they are but any feedback would help me out, thanks guys.

    lifts
    squat 225x3x5
    deadlift 335x5
    bench 175x3x5
    OH press 145x3x5

    thoes are all my current PR's

    Definitely the squats. Granted, he's got worse leverage at his height, but I can do 245x3x5 at 145 lb, 5'6". None of my other numbers are remotely close to his.

    The squats are too low, but I wanted to know what he thought was disproportionate. 440/231/440. Now that's disproportionate.

    That's why i made this post to get some other opinions and see if anyone thought my lifts were disproportionate

    Squats are low but your technique is also weak on them

    Maybe your squats are a little low, but I wouldn't say your lifts are so out of proportion that it's worth worrying about. At least it's larger than your bench.

    doesn't look that strange to me, and great that your press is relatively quite strong.
