Actually it's fairly in proportion. I know lots of people with 140kg bench press (1RM) which is very similar to mine, with squats only at 160 or 180kg (1RM) which is quite a way below mine. That is out of proportion.
Yeh thats me 
~150kg bench and 180kg squat (which I know is bad)

Yeah - I weigh around 65kg. But I do have an absolutely massive penis. In fact, I'd wager my penis makes up for 20kg of that bodyweight.
What makes me particularly pleased with the 30kg DB is that a year or so ago I had a shoulder injury that meant I couldn't use more than about 10kg.

do you shrivel up when you get an erection? 
Also I'm more than double your body weight

A good lift. A tip (whether you want it or not, I just can't help myself!) is that you let your hips rise faster than your shoulders, which changes your back angle. This is probably why you don't quite get full extension at the hip. It really isn't a massive problem as it's only slight, obviously as you got the lift (and have caught me up!) but just something to focus on I guess. People tend to do this (including me) when they're pushing big lifts, so I need to focus on it when lifting.- here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_0Q6YRf27QI like your jerk too. Snappy and powerful.
Oh and not related, this fat loss malarky isn't too hard is it. Just over two weeks of cutting crap and reducing carbs and I've dropped 5kg. 88kg now. I was getting fat tbf. And when you're eating 4/4500 calories a day it's easy to cut 1/1500 out!
I think I'll try and get down to 85kg so I can compete in the <85kg category on PL later this year.

I hate eating so much, I am getting fed up of eating when I'm not hungry, especially when it's a tin of tuna and salad cream at 3pm everyday.I think I'll try and get down to 85kg so I can compete in the <85kg category on PL later this year.

Your squat is better than mine and you're 60kg lighter! I think I'll try and get down to 85kg so I can compete in the <85kg category on PL later this year.

jfyi hips rising faster than shoulders is not a technical problem.Back & bi yesterday…
Lat pull downs – did 4 or 5 sets… managed up to I think it was 116kgs which I usually would struggle with but rather than going as wide as poss (to the end bobbins on the lat pull down bar), I placed my hands much closer to the curve of the bar which gave me more leverage and I managed 6 reps… I always train with others on this and I’m the only one usually who does hands to the bobbins – no wonder I struggle more than they do! Hands narrower is WAY easier – anyone know the reason why? I assume because you can use your middle back rather than just your lats? So you’re involving more muscles.
Bent over bench reverse flies – 3 sets w/drop set up to 16kg DB’s.
Bent over rows – 3 sets up to 90 something kgs w/ drop set.
Cable reverse flies – 4 sets of varying heights w/ drop set.
Strict EZ bar curls – 10x40kgs, 8x50kgs, 5x55kgs.
3 sets of lat push downs on cables.
3 sets of strict hammer curls using the cheat wall.
Incline bench rows up to 38kg DB’s (rarely do these).
2 sets of machine curls to finish off biceps.
Quick core circuit as my brother wanted to do some… leg raises non-stop for 4 mins with 10s intervals then alternate planks for 4 minutes finishing with 12 regular sit-ups.
Considering I was so tired and not in the mood yesterday, did okay.
I am not sure whether to take a day off today as I have stuff around the house I need to tidy up but I could be roped into a session – I fancy an hour of blasting core and then training legs tomorrow. We shall see.

Making the best of the crappy local gym which doesnt have any oly bars. Hence pretending to be a bodybuilder today - lots of isolation work on flouncy machines!
Few chinups at the end to test my elbow - looks like its improved, so will be starting the muscle-up training again in a couple of weeks

I've decided.I'm going to have a go.
Will give everyone a giggle when I fail.
I failed.
Got on that machine that does BF% etc today.
It's been exactly 4 months since I started going to the gym again..
In that time i've gone from 84kg to 78.2kg (5.8kg/13lbs lost)
BF% has gone from 23.3% to 20.0%.
Doesn't sound like a lot does it?
My BF mass is 15.6kg whereas it was 19.5kg, which is still 3.9kg of 'fat' that i've got rid of.
4 x this....
perspective needed I think.
Other things I need to consider are the strength gains i've had, which i'm pleased with, and i'm now running again, which is going well.
Just really hoped/thought i'd be around the 19%....<sadface>
