Do you have a specific weakness, or are you just weak? Everybody loves hitting PRs everytime they do a lift...because its fun and it means youre better than you used to be. Some struggle to lift much weight at all and its because of technique or strength issues. There is no fault in not being ready to move HUGE weights!!! Keep practicing --- improve your technique --- and get stronger! Dont start nit-picking when your numbers dont keep going up...focus on the basics. If I started playing golf tomorrow and was constantly slicing the ball the “guy-who-reads-about-training-on-the-internet-all-day-long” mindset would be to think that I have some kind of weak right glute or that my lumbar rotation was off or that I was too internally rotated or that my forearm flexors were too strong for my forearm extensors. Or any of a million other ridiculous things. If I brought that up to my instructor he’d think I was clinically insane and say, “Dude, it’s your first day. You suck. There’s no specific reason why. It’s brand new to you and you’ll have to practice for a year before you’re halfway decent.”When it comes to getting good at a squat or deadlift and being able to do so with a high level of proficiency while moving some serious weight you simply have to be willing to put in the time. People wouldn’t expect to hit the ball like Tiger Woods in a month. But they expect to be able to squat like Ed Coan in that amount of time. That’s not the way it works. Worry less about over analyzing what your weakness is and instead focus on mastering your technique with a weight you can actually handle. Then put in the time. You WILL get strong.
