    it's not a case of fixing it, just training appropriately and adapting them.
    how long have you been training with weights for (big compound lifts)?

    as i said plyometrics help build fast twitch muscle fibres as does sprint training. heavy lifts will also do it but may take slightly longer and might be why you're not progressing.

    as for your bench, it does seem low in comparison to other lifts. but this may be down to technique, are you holding it really wide or narrow? what is your OHP lift like out of interest?

    another thing to consider is whether you are actually dead-lifting correctly? if it's with shoddy technique then there will be no strength transfer to squats.
    my squat isn't great compared to my deads either, not that much of a difference though. 150kg x 5, 95kg x 5 (although my squat was 120kg not long ago before my break).

    make sure you stretch every day, hammies, glutes, hip flexors, quads, calves, use foam roller with your back. everything, it helped me significantly!

    and wow, some distance, nice!
    PBs - Dead-lift - 190kg x 1, Squat - 142.5kg x 3, Bench Press - 125kg x 1, OHP - 72.5kg x 5, Weighted Chins - 37.5kg + BW x 4
    2012 Goals - Dead-lift - 200kg x 4, Squat - 165kg x 5, Bench Press - 125kg x 4, OHP - 80kg x 5, Weighted Chins - 50kg + BW x 4

    Do you think the dips interfer with recovery?

    Cool. I would like to see you maxing out, as seeing where you mess up, would help us get to the bottom of it.
