S/B/D ratios??

[Beef]

I'm long f'n everything so are basically screwed except DL's. Mind you my girlfriend might have something to say on that...

:pfft: too right

[EMC]

1.6/1/1.8 (long arms, medium/short torso, short femur)

[steak]

How much can I realistically expect to improve each lift, to meet the required total, by the next comp...

Howd did the ratios read in your last comp?

Howd did the ratios read in your last comp?

1:1:1, every comp lift would be 100% of my ability at that point in time :grin: Funnily enough, my ratios will always be 1:1:1. Cool huh? Perhaps you could analyse your TP's ratios Steak? Or, if you're really keen, analyse the women's section of the NZPF 3 Lift Records for any trends 8)

My point was that aspiring to be a "balanced lifter" or meet ratios considered "good", whatever, is like aspiring to be 34-26-34. Sure you can try, but I personally feel it's more productive to identify weakpoints and try to improve each of your lifts as much as you can, because as Mr Swine noted:

As far as proportions go, there are a few factors that will influence your ratios.

I will never be someone elses perfect. This factoid makes me verrry verrry happy! \:D/ I'm decidedly unawesome and I like it.

Wish I could say that... learning to "bring it" to each session's an art form.

Again, common sense breaks out... I'm happy that my squats are good, but I won't stop working them hard while I wait for bench to catch up. I may never have a great bench (contrary to my Scottish ancestry, I have long arms and short pockets, not the other way around :doh:) but I'll always be working it.
