I'm 6', 160 lbs. My 1RM is definitely below 200.


Do you know what your actual 1RM is? Or have you calculated via submax?

Do you have good grip on the bar? That can also hurt your DL max as well.

Regardless, there is nothing wrong with being at a lower percentile than others when you start! My first bench max was like 65 lbs. Just keep grinding, man. :)
