why am i so weak if im kinda big, here is a pic i need advice

[nclifter6feet6]

im 21 years old natural lifter 6foot6 about 235 about 18 inch arms i bench about 335 or slightly higher(a pitiful bench compared to you guys and ive been benching for about 5 years) deadlift about445 on a good day(i know this sucks too ive only been deadlifting for about 4 months,but making good progress so theres still hope, this month RIGHT NOW ive been sereously deadlifting) squat about 385(horrible and laufable). i find it almost depressing seeing you guys shatter my lifts. im somewhat jealous but it helps motivatate me more. but i just dont fuckin get it, i look bigger than some powerlifters but the KICK MY FUCKIN ASS when it comes to poundages. and my bench hasnt gone up any in a couple years maybe a minute amount.

do any of you do high volume workouts/high frequency workouts for powerlifting. i would like to start adjusting my self to powerlifting but stay somewhat lean but get the thickness of a power lifter. and workout with 405 on the bench someday. i would really be interested if you had any high volume powerlifting routines because i love to workout as much as i can its fun and addicting. thanks alot you strong ass mother fathers

What's your training regimen look like?

Other than that, genetics (muscle fiber differences), gear, and form.

i hit each bodypart 2 or 3 times perweek usually 3. but i would really love to hear if anyone has high volume powerlifting routines, if theyre are any, i feel i get fat if i train anyless

im thinkin i may have bad muscle fibers in chest but i can curl a shitload of weight but not good at all on bench and squats. ive only been deadlifting for a few months and serously deadlifting for the past month im improving well in the dead

The fat gain is largely dietary in nature. If you decrease your work load, you decrease the number of cals your body needs. If you don't decrease your cals accordingly, yes, you will get fat. You can either decrease cals or increase workload.

I don't know what you call high volume, but my split is a few posts down, and it seems high volume to me. Especially when you add active recovery, sprinting, cardio, and training other people to the list.

i do about 15 -18 sets for large muslcegroupos back and chest. for quads i do 10 sets hammies i do 10 sets. my bicep curls are extremely strong i do tend to swing the weight but i workout with 80 pound dumbells on the curls with some "singin and leanin" not perfect form but i get looks when im curlin that weight but my bench sucks! do u think im over doing it on the volume

Are you spliting up max effort and speed work?

 

[nclifter6feet6]

well i go all out each rep always keep perfect form, the only thin i train loose form is bicep curls. i train around 5-7 reps a set i dont do speed work????would that mean light weight at high speeds, super light weight like on benches or squats???????

Ya beat me to it Cyto!

DEVOUR that site, 6feet6! The artilces, Ask Dave, all of it...

Perhaps if you spent more time on your tris, and less time on your bis, your bench would pick up. I also doubt, since your bench is that low, that you're using "optimal" form.
