Today i created a new pr for barbell row 205*5 my alltime best was*4.

I did 2 sets of 205 with 5 reps

My normal bench press without a spotter is about 185*8-10 or 225*4-6 or 275*4 with a spotter

I am wondering if i should be able to do more on bench since my pr for barbell rows has increased.

benching and rows are completely different plus ur bench is higher by 4 but no they dont have to be close it’s like some pple squat more than they deadlift and some pple deadlift more than they squat

    Rows and bench are completely different exercises and have nothing to do with each other. Rows involve specific back muscles depending on the angle of the row along with the biceps. Bench is pectoralis group, triceps, and anterior delts. Pulling heavy weights with a BB row will do nothing except help those movements and the same goes for benching.

    Some very uneducated lifters think that when you lower a weight while benching, you use your biceps. Its completely false. Rows or any pulling exercise will use your back and back only.

    No. If your physique is in proportion, you should be able to bench press more weight than you can lift with a barbell row.
